I agree that Apple shouldn't migrate to the x86 architecture. It would definately screw up their hardware sales. And, if they made Mac OS only run on x86 mobos made by Apple, I don't think that they would benefit.
I'm not an Apple user. The only Apple I've ever used was the Apple IIe. As far as the reliability of Windows XP, I think it has to be comparable to Mac OS. Comparing the two is like comaring a Chevy car to a Ford. They are both compitent solution and they both have their flaws. I just love the ideas behind both Java and.NET, the idea that you should be able to compile code once and it will run on any OS that supports the framework used to develope the application. I know that last idea was a little off topic.
