- It sounds like we're up for a(nother) software transition for
sociological reasons:
I think it may be more like economic reasons.
Steve's vision for Apple in the future may be to be an opposition to
WIndows.
That way his share of OS sales will go from 3% to perhaps 48%, a
1600% increase. Imagine being on-line buying a Dell and clicking a
Mac OSX Cheetah check box :-) It's logical to suppose that Windows
does need an opposition.
I'm not au fait with Carbon, Blue/Red/Yellow box, Fat/Thin/On-a-diet
binaries etc but I'm sure it eventually could be done. The only
question I would have is "can it be pirated?" And I'm sure there
would be other problems, but not insurmountable.
What is Microsoft's traditional revenues compared to Apple's? Maybe
Apple doesn't need to make computers. Only iThings.
Of course I would always want to buy only a Mac but maybe I'm strange
since I also wish they didn't stop making LaserWriters. At least they
always worked.
Obviously everybody's thought of this, but what do you all think?

BTW it's good to see some healthy non-destructive debate on this group.
