The final reason I'd cite for the transition is that its no good being ahead of the game in terms of processor performance, if nobody ever notices. The megahertz myth is a real factor that stop uninformed potential customers from buying Macs. They check out an iMac G5 2.0 ghz, then head down to ma-and-pop computers where he convinces them that a 2.7ghz Celeron will be much faster and better.
When the first PowerMac G5 was released, it was, for about 3 months, the fastest desktop computer on the market. Period. Rendering tests and benchmarks all proved this. However, this news completely failed to reach PC users. It simply went un-noticed.
Finally, putting Mac OS X on a system that can also run Windows will allow people to see for themselves how much slower and more bloated Windows really is.
