Maybe we will need to wait until IBM makes Power5 based laptops....
But, now IBM is no making any computer for users, they sell all this to lenovo...
I will star looking for xbox 360! it has a power based microprocessor, a helluva graphic card and a very nice sound subsystem...
Future is weird I will have a microsoft hardware designed for gaimming based on powerpc running linux as a file server...
And also I wonder, what would be the future of terrasoft? Should they start looking to be bougth by IBM based on ther power skills based on linux?

I guess this was announced during WWDC today. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jun/06intel.html Althought I don't see any specific info on the chips being X86, but with a Transition Kit available doesn't leave much hope for it staying PPC. For me, PPC was the major selling point for running linux on Mac hardware. Little-endian, big-endian; not susceptible to intel-based buffer overflows, etc. It doesn't seem like there will be much of a reason to buy Mac hardware anymore since the insides of it will be the same as the insides of an X86 box I can build.
Could this be the end?? -ken
