To be honest, I kinda feel uneasy whenever I hear news of Microsoft willing to use the PPC.
It does seem that Windows on PPC could suddenly become more real.
The Mac is different to a PC in many ways, and one of those reasons is that Mac OS runs on PPC and not on x86.
Once Windows runs native on PPC, there might be a reason less to buy a Mac once the PPC would prove better in the cost-speed relation...
Maybe M$ is foreseeing trouble with x86 in the not-so-far future, and "embracing" IBM's PPC 970 as to get ready for the maybe PPC-jump.
Us Mac-enthousiasts would still want to use Mac OS X on PPC, even if Windows Longhorn suddenly becomes available for the "G5" or other IBM PPC 970.... But most normal users out there still have little idea that there is an option to Windows when it comes to a computer operating system.
Right... so far my negative 'feeling"

Now... the positive side:
More games for the G5?????
