I for one do not think it would do more harm than good. I respect your opinion, but I feel that those of us that use Apple computers would stay with Apple hardware for that exact reason- that it is better. It would open up the world of Apple to new users. Who would in return very likely go to the Mac Hardware.
There was actually a post on slashdot awhile ago with an interesting subject- apple splitting into two seperate parts, hardware and software. I believe Apple even has a team looking into the possibilities of this and x86, not sure of the x86 part though. For all I can say it is just a thought and one that would have interesting ramifications for M$ as you put it. I would like to see nothing more than Apple to become the choice for the masses. Any other thoughts?
Perhaps Apple should release OSX on the x86 platform. I would definately think that many would run from Microsoft Operating systems then. I think Apple would make a Killing, and with that stated it would rip up on Longhorn. Any particular reason why Apple hasn't done this?
