Will the gigantic PPC user base (all Macs except 68K + other embedded 
devices) magically be converted to Pentium 4 simply because Apple's 
*new* machines (which will only be retailing in 2008) will be based on 
x86? I also doubt it'll be P4 based...the dev machine is P4...but I bet 
the final product will be a desktop version of the Pentium M. Notice 
Jobs was talking about G5 not delivering on laptop and also "Performance 
per watt". That's where the Centrino 2 excells..and Intel is working on 
a Desktop version.
So yes of cousre we will still want to support the million of PPC computers.
