No, that is NOT Apple's plan. Apple's plan is to use Intel CPUs. It has
nothing to do with "make the mac x86 compliant" or to use commodity PC
hardware.

I think Apple will cause the PC market to clean up their act. To make
hardware that actually does what it says it will do. Something Microsoft
either never understood or lacked the guts to enforce.
