I think Apple marketing Mac OS for the PC environment would only lead to the eventual departure of Apple from the hardware market. Maybe I’m wrong, but most people use Macs for the software, and if you can do everything on a cheaper, easily customizable, PC I don’t see a reason for many people to continue purchasing Macs.

You’re right guys. I doubt that anyone will be running OS X on a Dell any time soon. I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Still, putting the support issues aside, wouldn’t it be interesting if Apple made a full frontal assault on Microsoft by selling OS X for generic PCs? I don’t suppose that’s something that would be consistent with past Apple practice.

Should be nice to finally have the power of a G5 without having to pay for the equivalent of two PC machines with the same processing power

Agreed, Tom. This is Apple hardware with a pentium inside. Still a controlled environment.

Whoa nellie! Did anyone say anything about running Mac OS on non-Apple hardware? I didn’t hear that.
