Not sure I agree w/you completey. Yes Apple has always been Motos main computer chip custumer but maybe whe have a "whch came first the chicken or the egg" situation here.

You think that there was no demand for Windows/PPC. I think there was no demand because Moto is and perhapbs will always be TERRIBLE at marketing their often very good products.

Again I point out the fact they they were not even a customer of their own products as indicative of their backwards buisness sense. WHile I know that internal use ofthe PPC by Moto would not equal the amount of chips purchased by Apple by any streatch-still Moto is a HUGE company. That just pains me to think about. Can you imagine Intel using AMD PC's? Or Ford using Volvos internally?

Still regardless of who is right on your point (and to be fair you could be but for me its still tough to call it that way,) in my mind Motos REAL failure was their inability to deliver a competitive product. Intel, AMD, and especially IBM (on the same platform no less) all collectivly kicked Motos ass.
