This will be a funny truth for your friend then. When MICROSOFT was building the Xbox 360 they put Apple G5's in the hand of developers since the processor of the Power PC was closer to the tri-core processor used in the 360s.

So now your friend really needs to re-evaluate what companies will and wont do to get a product launched. We're saying Microsoft used Apple hardware for their new gaming hardware. That's deep.

The unthinkable has been thunk. <smile>
