Apple go x86!!!!!

To break this down to it's basics.  We will have some amazingly good looking PC's in over the next 2 years.

Maybe the hardware will be worth the money which we pay for it,

Another point - We have not seen the end of the PowerPC.  The Xbox 360 uses the processor.  Not only that but maybe Jobs saw this as a move, by Microsoft, to move silently into Mac territory.  Jobs is simply fighting back by unleasing and unbinding his OS to the hardware.

Nice one.

For those who don't know.  The Xbox ran a very small scale Windoze core in order to utilize DirectX and to maintain it's very experienced software developers from the Windoze platform.

Moving to PPC, the Windoze core is still in existence so Windoze does exist on PPC architecture.  Quite how extensive the code goes is unknown but I would hazard a guess and say it's quite extensive.

My opinions here are my own, not those of speculation....gossip or news reports.

Here's an interesting thought.  Bill Gates has now decided to develop Windoze further on PPC hardware.  A1 running Windoze for example.  Microsoft confirm that Longhorn WILL be the last x86 version of the Windoze OS before it's transition to the PPC platform.
