you can use other non-Apple monitors with a Mac if you prefer
NEC / HP / Eizo / Dell etc. etc.
The Apple LED 27\" cinema display has excellent detail, color, and overall has been a fine monitor. The matte displays I have used had less detail possibly due to the matte non glare coating.
PowerPC died because Motorola was not interested in staying in the chip manufacturing business and competing with Intel. Windows did not run on the PowerPC so there was not enough market share to make it all profitable with just Apple Macs.
Reality forced the migration to Intel based hardware for Macs. That was a good move as Intel is on the leading edge of processor development. Adoption of PC hardware (PCIe, SATA, etc.) leads to more options for Mac development.
Support of any operating system has a time limit. At that point you have to stay with the final version or buy a new computer and upgrade to the current stuff. Same is true for Windoze as it is with Mac.
I used Windoze since the 286 days and have a working Windows 7 Core 2 Duo PC.
I switched to a Mac Pro with Apple 27\" LED Cinema display and am very happy. It has been excellent for photography RAW image processing. OSX is a very good OS.
I know quite a few people who are switching to Macs as a primary or 2nd system.
