I hope that you either own your own business or do not work for a company with a fiduciary duty to its stockholders. If Apple has the best solutions, it should be what you recommend/buy. If you don't out of personal pique, all you are doing is putting yourself out of business.
So when they ditched their proprietary bus (nubus) and their marginalized I/O (ADB and the RS-422)and start using standards based hardware (PCI, USB) all you can do is whine?
Oh come on. You might as well complain about Compaq, IBM, Dell, and any other company that doesn't take an anonymous cloner attitude and just compete solely on price. People differentiate with all sorts of design issues and they try to lock you into their brand. So are you going to feel different buying Compaq proprietary than Apple proprietary?
As an owner of a 604 mac (PPC 8600) I know that I can upgrade to a G3 and I've read ads for ZIF socket daughter cards that guarantee upgradeability to G4 (XLR8, I believe). Since G3 is going to be the minimum for Mac OS X, I'm going to need to upgrade relatively soon.

How sad,

Oh well, good luck!
