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.

"Bwahahahaha!
Apple letting it's users add a faster CPU? That's rich! These are gonna be *APPLE* PC's. Not your average PC."
You have no idea what you are talking about and have obviously never owned a Mac. YES you can upgrade the processors in Macintosh computers as I have done it several times with Mac towers I have owned (Apples Pro lines). The G5 upgrade path will come soon I'm sure, for the time being there is little need to upgrade G5 systems.
FYI - There are several companies you can purchase upgrades from, read for yourself:
www.sonnettech.com
www.powerlogix.com
www.gigadesigns.com
Perhaps you are confusing the fact that iMacs/eMacs are not processor upgradeable. They are consumer systems, and mostly in a form factor no bigger than a laptop computer. Individuals who purchase these are well aware that the processor and video cards of these systems cannot be upgraded but Ram/Hard drives can be upgraded though.
When was the last time you dumped a new processor in your PC laptop?
