Yes understand. Now I type this on my 17" iMac 1.25GHz, what I mean is that Apple again have the opportunity to more than just a mere 2.8% of marketshare if only they are not so arrogant (either sell board+processor only, talk to mobo maker, or port OS X to Intel/AMD based = just think the what should do with the new business model), but again if they only slip this moment again, we'll surely will see more linux than Mac OS X and Apple again will loose the opportunity to become market leader.
Anyway that's their choice, can't speak more about their policy.
For me, I would prefer OS X than Windows, but honestly we have to support Windows machine and sell linux solution. So even consider PowerBook would be a niche product (I will surely buy more Mac stuffs if only we're not in IT consulting business).
Yes Agree!! I'm tired of asking Apple to play in bigger league. Now maybe I'll ditch my plan to buy PowerBook 15" and go for IBM T42 and go with linux entirely. Dreaming about Adobe and Macromedia to port for linux is easier than dreaming about Apple to go mainstream.
