    It was really only a matter of time.

    What they mean by "Apple supplied VGA"? Apple going to release VGA cards? or Apple going to release OSX to PC users & can't get full OS X power without apple VGA?

    leave the tinfoil hat off, it likely just means video cards that were originally installed in Mac Pros and such. likely has more to do with what drivers are included with the OS.

    Not too unexpected...and it will have been 3 years of Intel switch by the time Snow Leopard ships.
