Yes but Apple was never an OS or software company. They have always been a Hardware company. Do you honestly think they want to take on, and can take on, Dell+Wintel? I really don't think so. The moment Apple becomes just an OS/Software company is the moment they lose. I think the G5 kicks the P4's butt in power consumption, heat output and processing power. Pentium-M for laptops, though. that's another story.
