Well, yes. Time to market, cost and production capacity are big issues too, and ultimately put an and to the G5 Mac line. But the thing most people forget is that this isn't entirely a no-going-back transition - *all* of Apple's current generation of code is Universal. I don't expect them to leave Intel in the foreseeable future, however they could quite easily release high-end XServes with PPC based chips without anyone even raising an eyebrow.
