The reverse will never happen. Because the reason for bringing Windows to the
Mac was to sell more Macs. They want to entice people to try Macs and buy Macs.
Apple will not license the Mac OS to be used on non-Apple hardware. This would
just hurt sales of Apple hardware. It's not in their interest to do that. They
want to force you to buy Apple hardware in order to run Apple software. This is
their business model. And they will not deviate from that. Any increased sales
of Mac software that would run on a PC would be more than offset by decreased
sales of Apple hardware. They tried that once before. They won't go down that
road again.

Hi,
how about the reverse? If I could run Mac OSX on my windows machine, I
might buy the logic windows to mac update, since I liked the program
very much. I might also give Bandstand a try. But I would not by an
Intel Mac to run XP, or vista, on.
I have all the software I need on my XP machine, and some of the best
programs, like wavelab, don't exist for macs. Many of the "good"
programs exist for PC and Mac, anyway, and while I would like two or
thre Mac specific programs, I would miss the hundreds of PC alternatives
and lots of shareware or freeware programs.
Also I like the feeling of XP, I am accustomed to it, and I know where
to look if a problem arises, which hardly ever happens.
OK, there are less viruses for OSX, but there are, and there would be
more if more macs were out there.
Is there also a solution out there, or in sight? I'm not talking about
an OSX emulator, but about being able to select XP or OSX while booting.
And I would just hope OSX would take care of all my external Firewire
and USB2 drives (NTFS), soundcards (Hammerfall DSP and Creative Labs
X-Fi), W-Lan, Wireless keyboard and mouse, Pocket PC, and and...) How
about the flexibility of OSX to adress PC hardware? I guess my iPod
would not be a problem...;-)
Any hints?
Kurt
