Macs are more expensive because of the proprietary nature of the hardware, but if they release a X86 version of the GUI, then they would have much more market
actually Mac OSX is available for the x86... and it's not a hard port to make, as you stated- the basis for the new Mac OS is OSS, so the ports to x86 are as simple as recompiling portions of the *bsd bottom line code to accept x86 archetecture.. but you still don't see it sweeping the globe. Why? as a friend put it nicely 'I used it once and hated it, there is no way you'll get me to use it again, no matter what they've done with it'.. they had a chance to get people to like them, and didn't.. *shrugs* then again, in the OS market POV works just as well
and then again, they may not even place restrictions on the company at all... M$ wins yet again, and the world as a whole loses.. does it matter? to anyone running a secure box, no- we aren't running M$ products on our secure stuff anyways, we're running *nix. I say let M$ have it's moment, as another person noted, a BSOD on a ship during the middle of a battle would be the best argument to the U.S. Gov't to change their line of thinking.

yes as a matter of fact, you can sue someone over something which is, as you so put it 'free', though I"m sure you might not understand the meaning of free here... most don't.. this is not free as in "oh I can have it and take it and do what I wish with it and never have to explain myself to anyone" free, this is " I am responsible to the people I am reciving this from and those that come after me" free.. you don't own it when you get it, your leasing it...
... the why is obvious, the WHO isn't.. ponder that for a moment.. and ask yourself- is an outside source foolish enough to do something so obvious? if so, what are they trying to tell america in this act of stupidity?
But only in *America* (that would be the U.S.A.- not Canada thank you very kindly) yeah sure the 'senate' can pass this little bit of merde, but personally.. it just means the *rest* of the world only has to avoid buying american built products.. no controls, no merde.. no problem.. then again, thats just my $.02 worth ( or in amrican... $.00000000000000000000002)

I'm not sure where your comment is directed, though your example is somewhat- lacking, O'reily were making M$ related products, not openware. They were good at it. They had good people on their software team.
Granted you are correct in that one should stick to what one knows, perfect that and then move on to other things, never stagnating or refusing to grow. however, one should always remember that if your going to spout- read while you do it.
