With the announcement that Apple is switching to Intel, the computing world has been thrown a curve ball. Speculation will run rampant for the next year. We obviously won't know what's going to happen until it happens, but I see a bright future coming out of this. I see Apple with more headroom for the future to create better, faster designs. I see much more opportunity for the hacker community to work with this also.

It would be a real shame if Power architecture really took off thanks to the gaming consoles. Jumping off the rising star to get on the Titanic.
But it is taking off, in a real big way! In consoles, in servers, in embedded applications. But one place it won't take off is in desktop PC's. There was only one company to purchase them (Apple). And that just wasn't enough money on the table to justify the expense of dedicating the kind of resources to the desktop implementations that Intel, with their greater economy of scale, can dedicate to x86.
PPC has a great future. But that future is not in desktop PC's.
