Apple Fourteen months ago I wrote an editorial, suggesting that Apple should create an ultra cheap machine to battle the PC world. On that article, I suggested some specs for the hypothetical "Strawberry" computer. As technology is moving on fast, I am now updating these specs. To get the idea though, please make sure you read last year's article before you read on this one.

Why not sell Apple PowerPC motherboards ?

Why not sell Apple PowerPC motherboards ? If Apple made ATX-form PowerPC motherboards (with proprietary BIOS, etc, etc to not permit cloning), independent manufacturers could use standard (and cheap) PC cases to mount cheap computers. These motherboards could use standard PC parts, like AGP video adapters, PCI cards, etc.

If Intel makes motherboards (of excellent quality), why Apple cannot do the same ? Apple would remain selling hadware.

While apple remain with your elitist actitude they will remain with a little niche of market ?

Sorry for my bad english.
