We Forgot One Thing...
We must not foget Steve's "other job": Pixar.
Do you realize he uses mostly 64 bit Sun and SGI workstations and rendering farms? Yeah, there are some Macs, too. Don't you think that Sun and SGI could go bye-bye soon if we get powerhouse G5s and a 64 bit OS X, and Gigawire? Someday Pixar might be the poster child for what Macs can REALLY DO. (I have heard that SGI may buy G5's from Moto?)
Imagine this: You just saw Monsters, Inc 2. The credits roll. At the very end you see this:
"MADE ON A MAC"
:0)
(it could happen)

Comments
1) It appears SGI aren't worth poo poo with what they doo doo any more
2) Its not consumer/home user/mass market orientated...
3) This could cause fears that Steve Jobs is abusing his positions at both companies cos he knows that, say, OS X isn't ready for RenderMan yet...
Although, if Apple follows SGI's suit with creative workstations and servers, then they will have a really good excuse to let rip on some truely hardcore professional gear...
