How can a company be just about everywhere, and yet nobody knows its name? Just ask Michel Mayer, chief executive of Freescale Semiconductor.

I've read that B Gates has a vision, to see an inexpensive computer in every home, a number of services available to the public, (via the internet), and MS will supply those sevices for a monthly fee, or on demand fee, much like your local cable service.
Those services are basically a trouble free computing experience, and entertainment media, supplied by MS via server.
No more screwing with viruses etc, they do it all for you.
The XBox 360 is the beginning.
The next type of modem.
(MS for Dummies)
Since MS is so huge, I think S Jobs saw the light, and got away from IBM while the gittin was good.
It's obvious that MS and IBM have been negotiating for for quite awhile, and the sheer volume of XBox production, would make Apple a low priority customer, and cause delays to Apple's future success.
I think Steve is still a little angry because of the broken 3 Ghz promise by IBM, and rightly so.
I would almost be willing to bet, that Freescale and Apple have some secret involvement with one another, and you will continue to see Apple's with PPC as well as X 86.
Freescale is probably working on the next latest and greatest PPC processor for Apple computers, right now.
Probably a10 Ghz, 8 core, super efficient, microscopic thinga ma jig, designed for a computer the size of an iPod.
Me thinks Steve is more sly than egotistical, has learned his lessons well, and has a pretty clear vision of where Apple is going.
When you battle a giant, you have to choose your moves wisely, if you wish to survive.
Sure wish I had bought shares in Apple when they were $10.58 per.
