I'd say that was a good enough reason to avoid Intel. Screw 'em! Not only that, but there are those of us who still value choice. The PPC lineup made their computers unique - just as they did with the ST's and Amiga's. I wish IBM and Motorola were still producing chips in an evolutionary way for mainstream computers. Lack of choice is not good. It's what's ruining this and other countries.
Oh, and I remember reading in my MacWorld's that Apple went with Intel originally because IBM couldn't cost effectively produce a small enough/heat & energy enough efficient chip for their laptops beyond the G4 line...
