everything Apple will be proprietary...and good for that! Steve would never allow an Apple-branded system be as unforgivable as PCs are; i.e. everything will work just like today's Macs.
if you read the Arstechnica article, you see a glimpse of Steve's personality, and after following him since '90, I think it's entirely plausible that Jobs simply was fed up with IBM's feet-dragging and lack of innovation on behalf of Apple and realized that there was nowhere else to go except x86. Although, he *did* realize that he might have to go to x86 sometime, ever since the first rumors of Mac OS 10.0 running on both the PPC and x86 architectures.
