Yes, they would, but the people who love to tout Windows (or Mac)  
superiority, love to use the Intel vs. PPC chips as a factor.
Since the chips architecture would be cousins, that could make for  
some interesting evaluations.
As for another comment about the Anti-trust, that does seem a very  
real possibility (with some prodding from AMD).
