Dr. Jekyll,

After reading your post, that makes a *LOT* of sense. Not only that, but it would be really cool.

If Mac would offer their OS For Intel compatible equipment, I'd switch over tomorrow. As would a whole lot of other people who don't trust Microsoft -- but hate being limited to software/hardware choices.

Any OS can run Unix-based code. The MAC OS X, being just a 'flavor', should technically run on top of any hardware, just as KDE does.

Interesting. I wonder if anybody else has brushed on this topic.

I think that is what Apple needs to do. Get off their high horse about selling proprietary equpiment and grab the OS market like MS has. Maybe this is the beginning. I hope so. Their technology has always been very innovative.

Really like your thinking on this. I don't like how MS buys out or kills the competition. Many good competitive products that were technically better than MS equivalents were run out of business because of marketing practices.

I am a big fan of Jobs and Apple. Just about every apple owner I've known was very happy and loyal to the product. The only reason I personally go Win is because it is then compatible with everything I do in the office and when I work at home it's easily transferable.

Did you see the news about Motorola closing a plant and scaling back production?
