When it comes to using computers, it used to be (and still rings true today) that most people find the Mac platform to be either loathsome or lovable with few spectators taking middle ground on the issue.

Please get a clue. Apple will ALWAYS be proprietary. If they come with an x86 computer you will still not be able to build a computer that will run any version of Mac OS. It will still require a ROM chip just like current G4 and previous Mac computers did and do. You will always be missing that one piece. So there will never be any home built or clone Macs out there ever again as long as Steve Jobs is the CEO or in any control of any kind at Apple. While this makes Macs cost more. It is a good thing that you will never have to worry about Macs having to support cheap (as in junk and not as in inexpensive) junk hardware.
