Apple Powerbook vs. Dell Mac OS X Boot

This is way off topic, but I found this video extremely interesting and exciting. Apple announced a while back that it would be switching from the IBM Power PC architecture (G4, G5) to Intel processors starting next year. This was huge news...nobody ever imagined in a million years that Apple would go the Intel route.

So anyway, here is a video of OS X booting on both a Dell Dimension 8250 and a 15" Powerbook G4. As if the shock of seeing OS X running natively on a Dell PC isn't enough, you'll notice that the Dell easily beats the Powerbook to the desktop.
