RE: i5....continues...

Perhaps, but I have a vague recollection of WinNT on PowerPC a number of years 
ago. I recall that on-going licensing issues, probably along with all the other 
MS vs. IBM issues, halted any further development talks. A long way from 
Win2003 Server for sure, but I'd expect the rift to still be wide. I'd 
particularly expect that MS sees zero advantage in cooperating.
