Dell We'd Sell Mac OS X

euphonaesthesia writes "In this article from Fortune, Dell CEO Michael Dell mentions that he would offer OS X to customers if Apple were so willing. The author speculates also that Apple would probably demand certain specifications. Having OS X would probably require a higher price point--this both Apple and Dell would probably like."

Dell sells it for more that they got it. Unless you're GM, that's the way you do it.
If you can't built your own computer better and cheaper than Dell, it's time to turn in your geek badge.

If you want to see pricey, remove Mr. Dell's package from your throat and head over to their SAN storage, or price out a dual-proc rack-mounted server, or...nevermind. You two look like you're enjoying your private moment.

>> That's like Paris Hilton saying "Yeah, I'll do you". It's meaning less.
Sez you. I don't mind that everyone's been in there. Everyone's been to Disneyland and it's still fun. I'm sure there's still plenty of fun to be found in Paris.

I know and Apple stock has done so poorly over the last few years, it is amazing they stick with that same old tired plan!
