1) The Intel switch is far away. If you want a Mac, get one.
2) We don't know which products are going to be affected first. Might be consumer models, might be pro models. Might be desktops, might be laptops. Might be servers.
3) Few software programs are compiled for Intel right now. They all run natively on PPC.
4) Every piece of software for the remainder of OS X's life, and most likely OS 11 will be able to run PPC builds. It's no where near out of date (we can still run OS 9).
5) The 15" PowerBook is just so l33t and sexy. I'm using one right now, just not with the drop protection or scrolling touchpad
