I agree with Bruce. The generic PC motherboards being used now are for demo purposes - to show that it can be done and that it's not vaporware. I didn't expect to see a proprietary, Intel based Apple demonstration until Apple and Intel had an agreement worked out. I think we'll see some pretty unique stuff come out of the relationship, and I expect we'll be asked to pay a premium for it.
