i dont understand the comparison? Because they both use
PPC processors? You want to compare the price difference
in Linux and Mac OS X?
Macs use PPC processors, yes, but there are a few more
differences in other PPC machines, like IBM makes. You
cannot load Mac OS on just any old PPC processor machine. - Posted by: doh123 Posted on: 01/21/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use

What do customers care about? Benchmarks?

Yep, but real equiv. is unlikely; e.g., that MacG5 vs. Xeon comparison...

Apps/performance but not benchmarks attract customers and sales.

Linux = Power5's make for a VERY sensible value proposition.
