Chris,

First of all - Apple has a way of doing 3 things at the same time, where 
even those who develop don't know if their work will be the one used.

Second - LET IBM do their "new desktop PowerPC processor with virtual 
cores (aka the Power6)". It won't blow anything except hot air. Which 
computer maker will incorporate it in their machine? Who will use it? 
Which applications will be written for it?

Best,

Henry
