Yeah, Moto could have kept Apple if they had simply delivered the G5 laptop chip that Apple wanted. The last rev G5 towers were performing better than the 1st rev Intel Macs.
Moto put all their resources into the xBox 360 PPC chip. The original 360 dev kits that developers received were Mac G5's.
Kinda ironic that the largest single order placed with Apple came from Microsoft.
