Um, how exactly is this "competition for ARDI"?  ARDI makes the only MAC 
emulator available for the Intel based IBM platform on the market.  These 
people are just writing a method to allow the MacOS for the PowerPC chip 
to be run on a PowerPC system that is made by IBM.  I suspect that this 
was much easier than what ARDI has done in totally recreating the MAC OS 
for another processor.  :)

IOW, these are two totally different products that you are comparing here.
