Right. And what would the point of that be? The changeover to the new processor would be huge from a software standpoint and if you couldn't run OSX on a Dell, well, what's the point? Might as well stick with the PowerPCs and maybe switch in a couple year's time when that processor runs its course.

I suppose I could see them putting the XServe on Intel. That would have fewer issues, particularly given the environment for servers. That would make it easier for them to sell more OS's to companies that have XServe's, but I wouldn't think it would be a consumer port.
