I'm worried about Apple's move to intel. I would have open sourced part of their system and moved along the console/graphics hardware business in a team with Sony or Microsoft itself, imo. They share the same IBM processors and have gazillion of protable games.

The new gaming PowerPC processors won't handle out-of-order instructions. They would suck at existing Mac (or AIX or PowerPC Linux) code.
