The performance has been so poor with the PPC platform that Apple has been forced to sign a pack with the devil and use ix86 in their future boxes. I'm not making this up! It would have been nice to have a competing platform remaining to keep everybody honest. Now that Apple is going Intel, we will be forced to use whatever the Indians provide.
