Whoever was leaking the info has presumably caught a serious break here. Maybe apple / steve only intended on scaring the shit out of A) the rat and B) the rumor sites.
I bet accurate rumors will be a lot harder to come by from now on.
Perfectly stated.
Licensing OSX for x86 is a terrible, terrible idea.
But would it be so bad if Apple ported iLife (or even just iPhoto) to Windows? They did with iTunes and it is working as bait. Windows users see how awesome the iTunes experience is and they think "gee, what if my whole computer acted like this". Why not try and bait the non music fanatics as well?
Competition is good - just look at what windows has done for the Mac OS.
I'm a huge apple fan and I'm glad to hear that there are other companies out there willing to step up to the plate and try to knock apple down - it will just keep apple on its toes and we'll get to see awesome new stuff from them at the next macworld.
Lack of competition = no motive to innovate
