Yes. The ones that are being laid off as a result of this are rather
unhappy. This includes ASIC designers, sustaining engineers, and
various others.
I don't understand the people that are bitching about Apple giving up
the "secret sauce" that makes the Mac unique. The secret sauce is
MacOS, and they're not giving that up. To a normal user, the brand
name of the CPU inside the box makes no difference.
What amazes me is that Apple didn't figure this out and switch a lot
sooner.
