I don't think Steve Jobs could have done that seeing that the pentium chip line did not materialize until 1993.

That, and the fact that, lets face it, IBM and Motorola were the main contributors; from a business perspective, considering the size of both companies, would it be reasonable to assume that Intel could leap so far ahead of the competition as to make the PowerPC irrelevant? of course not - Steve went with the best solution at the time, and that was PowerPC.

The PowerPC only started to become long in the tooth in the last 5-6 years, so it I hardly see it fair to blame Steve for something that would have made sense 15 years ago, but no longer does.
