I mean, it's really just a case of being back to the good ol' days when Macs had PowerPC (or before then, m68k) processors. So if anything, I'd expect more success with this in the long run than with commodity x86 hardware, since it's a more-or-less new architecture rather than having to adapt an existing architecture to Apple-specific oddities.

But yeah, short-term there's a bit of a barrier to entry. Once it's overcome, though, this might be what pushes me to voluntarily buy any piece of Apple hardware made after 2007.
