[Ti] End of PPC, what about Linus Torvalds ?

[Ondra Soukup]

As I read somewhere that he can't test some x86 related feature in  
kernel, because his main development machine right now is Powermac G5.
I think he bought it because he want's linux to be most cross- 
platform OS ever. As long linux and mac user, from my point of view,  
MacOS X is free-unix (linux,*bsd etc.) that is useable for people  
like my grandma . UNIX for the rest of us. Back to PPC platform...  
does that mean end of PPC platform in general ? Or we will have to  
compile programs for our "old" PPC Macs on our toasters and  
washmachines as somebody mentioned here that PPC is widely use as an  
embedded platform. I think this is the beginning of the end. Apple  
living from iTMS and iPods is very close...
In less than a year, some hack will be done (to specific motherboard  
BIOS, to x86 in general, don't know Wintel very much) so anyone will  
install MacOS X to his PC. Very sad, as PC users usually don't buy  
their software and they even don't hesitate to post their crime on  
some internet discussion board.

PS: This was written day ago... but I had to revise it, because of  
total anger after the keynote. It's still just a scream into darkness.
