Contrary to recent and unsubstantiated rumors, sales of Apple's new Intel-based iMac Core Duo desktops and MacBook Pro portables both appear to be strong, reports research and investment firm American Technology Research.

Specifically, Wu said his firm is seeing particular strength in sales to education (K-12 and higher education), content creation, and consumer end markets.
(emphasis mine)

That surprises me, since none of the pro content creation apps are Intel native yet.

Switchers don't really give a damn about pro apps. They just buy the best machine they can get their hands on.

they're probably just getting the machines so that they're ready for the crossgrade releases.

I'm hoping that Intel will be a success for Apple.
