Well, I think the point is that apple doesn't *want* to have their 
OS running on an intel box.  They came out with PowerPC based macs 
to replace the intel box and do just what you are 
suggesting--porting everything to one platform so that everyone can 
be happy with one box and their favorite OS.  It would be rather 
stupid for apple to port MacOS to X86 because it mean that they are 
working against themselves.
