Will Apple release Leopard before or after Longhorn is released?

If Leopard and Longhorn ran on the same machine then that might make some sense. Because consumers looking to upgrade their OS ($20-300 purchase) would then have Leopard as a viable option. As of now, switching to the Mac OS requires also buying Mac hardware which carries a much higher price.

You would still have to buy a Mac to run OSX. That hasn't changed with the new transition to x86.
