Its the software development they chose G5 because it uses the processors that they are going to use in the console

I know, but you would think M$ would rather pay IBM to build a new machine rather than cross over to the dark side and use a Mac. Still, they are using NT for PPC though rather than OS X and X-Code so the software they produce can still be buggy and live up to their lagacy.

Just for information purposes, NT and windows 95 have always been able to run on PPC. There is a PowerPC folder in the system folder with the necessary files for installation.
