Why should apple give up their architechture? The real bottleneck on x86 systems are the chipsets, not the actual P4 (which is a RISC/CISC hybrid). The G5 is supposed to be way superior. But IBM can't deliver. There are heat problems and they can't go over 3ghz. So it's a good choice, since IBM has now more "important" customers as sony (ps3), microsoft (xbox 360) and nintendo (revolution).
The real fun will be 2005, when there is MacOSX 10.5 vs. Windows Longhorn.

I've always believed that Apple makes a superior product. In fact, I use iTunes and am getting ready to get iPod shuffle. My point in saying they should allow clones was probably wrong now that I think about it. Apple is playing it smart by making good quality stuff like the iPod and licensing the tech to companies like HP. I just hope Jobs's ego doesn't get the best of him, but I think he's grown up a lot since he returned.

OS X.5 will obviously never take market share from Windoze, but it's fair to say it will be better.
