PowerPC Open Platform Motherboards Finally Here

Cajal writes: "IBM's POP (PowerPC Open Platform) is a standard for making PowerPC-based motherboards. It's been out for years, but no one did anything with it. That's now changed. According to a story on PenguinPPC, Mai Logic is finally making POP motherboards. Finally, we can buy PowerPC motherboards without dealing with Apple."

I mean, let's face it: buy a Mac, and you buy from a company with a history of control-freakishness, to the point of pulling the rug out from under erstwhile partners.

Buy PCs. You'll be working with stuff that's had to evolve in a much more Darwinian environment, and is therefore much more capable for a much lower price.
