It's still a PowerPC with VMX(altivec) extensions but it's a custom made CPU so it's not likely that Tiger would run on it at all. The architecture is way different and it probably relies on some type of PC BIOS type software on the low end which the Mac OS wouldn't know how to talk to.
I wonder how different these PPC chips really are though because Microsoft is using Macs to develop games for the XBox.
I'm also betting that MS is using a port of DirectX which the Mac will never see ported to OS X.
