It sure looks like a Microsoft PC, and it has 3 PowerPC processors - plenty of power to run Microsoft Office.

The last one was already considered a PC. You could hack it and put Linux on it and have a cheap PC. I would imagine one could do the same with this one. :P

If MS is going to Power PC processors, that means they can get out from under all the vulnerabilities of the x86 processor that have so annoyingly echoed up through the Microsoft OS for so long, does it not?

Isn't that the same processor that Apple uses in the Mac. Dell killer? What about Intel and AMD? Is Microsoft FINALLY admitting that Apple has been right all along. Perhaps it will run OS X 10.4 Tiger.
