Microsoft Vs. Mac Doomed to fight!

[The Former DMiller]

Double the instruction set does not make a processor faster necessarily, and the current PowerPC processor is actually the G5, not the G4 as you said. Everything depends on how the OS and the software use that expanded instruction set. Apple is great at optimizing their code so I see no reason why OS X can't run just as fast on x86 as it did on PowerPC. Apple has the luxury of totally rewriting their OS recently so they don't need to keep building on their code base like Microsoft had been doing up until Vista. I also have no clue what googie handling as I have never heard that term before.
