What I know is that what's seeded to developers today is what you're 
getting as an end user tomorrow.  So you can pretty much remove the 
aura of "mystery" that Apple is going to have some magical combination 
the rest of the x86 world isn't going to have on x86.

The commodity x86 market is pretty easy to predict, especially with 
Intel.  You'll be able to read about benchmarks done on pre-release x86 
hardware on Windows and linux before the hardware is even announced by 
Apple as being installed in Mac.

I mean, lets get real - Intel's latest and greatest - the Pentium D 
840, 830, and 820 with the 945 chipset are already in production 
release, and people are running Windows on them.  And what do they demo 
at WWDC?  A regular old run-of-the-mill P-IV 3600 BTU Space Heater 
<sigh>
