Why are you so sure that Apple is going to switch over to X86? I actually think that's quite unlikely, although Apple is keeping their options opened by keeping a current X86 Jaguar port. Unless something consederably bad happened to the PowerPC architecture, I can't see why they would ever change over to x86's. A PowerPC from either IBM or Motorola is their future.

Not only that--Microsoft seems to have great prejudice for anything that is opensource. The mere idea of Linux seems to scare them.
