I can't help thinking that this is going to be quite bad for Apple (at least in the short term) and if it does indeed run on beige box hardware then I think it may be a little damaging to the linux comunity as well.
Aye, I can't see many people buying expensive (or even a cheap mac-mini) power macs between now and next year. If I was about to buy a Mac I would seriously be considering buying a cheap PC instead.
A lot of potential switchers (Windows to Linux) will suddenly have another option without the previous barrier of buying new hardware.
Depends on if Apple actually release OSX for x86 or just for Apple branded x86.
