Well there is some other bad news on the Intel Mac front, Windows probably
won't run as fast on a Intel Mac because there will be no hardware BIOS on
the the mother board for Windows. This means the bios will have to be software
emulation. There is some info about a product here: http://www.macwindows.com/

I wonder if there will be a way to flash the chips to be able to run other
OSs???

I'll bet you hash brownies to has browns this can be taken care of by using
a different bootloader like GRUB.
