Who says it'll be a total switch? I could easily imagine Apple
switching to x86 for its lower end products (or even selling MacOS
X for PC clones) but continuing to use PowerPC for high end workstations
and servers. There's some actual potential to make a profit selling 
hardware into these niches, whereas there's little or none in the
highly saturated consumer desktop and notebook markets.

Seriously: in many folks' opinion, Jobs *was* the Dark Side and should
have done something like this years ago.
