No, their Xserves are G5's, just like the PowerMac line. If this were really the case, the Apple rumor sites would be on it like white on rice, and Apple would be suing anybody and everybody saying things like this. Apple actually has a very good thing going with PowerPC, and when you discount the MHz madness, Apple's modern systems compare quite favorably to modern Wintel systems (from personal experience). In other words, I'll believe it when I can buy one. Until then, it's just another variation on the "Apple Is Doomed" meme, which has been around since about '86. :) Gregory -- Gregory K.
