I've noticed that for Edgy we're now using the term "Apple Macintosh" primarily in places of PowerPC for the different iso downloads. This is more user-friendly, but it could lead to confusion as newer Macs are Intel-based. If I were choosing a download for my MacBook and didn't know any better, I'd probably go with "Apple Macintosh" over "Laptops and Desktop PCs." Maybe we could put in non-linked text next to PCs "Intel and AMD x86 based computers, or something like that.

It would be better if there were a few selection boxes (drop downs or options) for new users.

an ftp site with x86, amd and ppc will do for everyone else.
