I suppose that I'm joining this a bit late, but wouldn't it be safe to
assume that the more systems we're successfully running on, the better?
 If the ReactOS system can support the Win32 API on multiple
architectures, that'd be great, regardless of what manufacturer is using
what brand / model of processor.

Besides, keeping the PowerPC support means that ROS can run on the Xbox
360, PS 3, and new Nintendo system... IIRC, they're all slated to use
the IBM PowerPC processor now, too.  And they will be decently
well-priced units, with more processing power then in any computer that
I have in my apartment, that's for sure.

Also, there are people that will retain the Macintosh units that they
have today, for the next several years to a decade.  Most of the people
that I know don't upgrade until they come across the dire need to do so.
