MS can't really push that hard... Unless they are planning to move to
PowerPC (LOL).
I think Apple is going to allow PC users with the know how, to buy OSX
and install it on there bone stock PC's(someone will figure it out).
Apple won't support these users, but still they will take there $129.
That is the way obsolete mac hardware works (ie xpostfacto on older
macs can run 10.4 we are just unsupported).
Plus some of these technical hacker types will like OSX and as usual
Apple will continue to design the nicest PC's in existence...
Some of these hacker types will also become Apple hardware customers.
This is a win/win situation for Apple as long as pro Mac users don't
opt out of Apple hardware (which is unlikely). Powercomputing had some
success though, so it's a potential worry for them.
MS makes a LOT more $ then Apple, mostly from windows, so SJ appears
to be having visions of grandeur (delusions?) about this whole setup...
