Not sure what you meant by "day one," but Macs didn't use PowerPC CPUs
for nearly a decade after (the Mac's) release. The Mac used a Motorola
68k on day one. If you meant day-one of the PPC's release, no kidding
(Apple was part of the alliance, I certainly would have expected them to
use the CPU ASAP).

That said, now that Macs run x86 CPUs I do find it amusing that nearly
all of my Mac friends seem to enjoy running Windows (Parallels, etc.)
more than anything else (or they speak about it a lot). They often
continue to trash MS, even though they have purchased not only Windows,
but extra software just to run it. Kinda hypocritical. <g>
