I would just like to say, I wasn't talking about using any windows programs or anything if the MAC OS could run on an x86 platform. I'm talking about people being able to see what a MAC is all about without having to purchase a whole new machine. Being able to try it on hardware and feeling secure that if they wanted to dump it and go back to Linux or MS they could without having to sell hardware.
Why not go after some of the PC market and give them a taste. And as far as "there being no difference to the user" BULL! What about all you MAC people that are telling everyone "no viruses", "no adware", "no spyware", "no keyloggers" I'd say those are differences the user would love.
I've been a PC user for 20 years, and I'd love to see what a MAC is all about. I use Linux quite a bit and have all the apps to do all the day to day stuff, but where I need a PC is for the utilities to troubleshoot network issues and network sniffers for problem solving in the field. There are just no utils for a MAC to do what I need when it comes to troubleshooting. I did find some for Linux though.
All in all, I'd be first in line to buy the MAC OS for x86 if it does come true!!
