there is no way in hell ... the ipod halo effect is still going strong and people are abandoning Windows in droves ... Apple haven't been in such a good position in ages. Anyway that would mean that Microsoft would have a monopoly over commercially developed OS's and that wouldn't leave consumers much in the way of choice.

Anyway OSX is by far the better out of the two (Windows) - it is inifinitely more stable, multitasks heaps better, has a better GUI, is based on UNIX and even MS Word is heaps better on the Mac. The only disadvantage is that Windows has more programs available for it.

Thats my two cents anyway ...

It about time apple stopped being anti-competitive..... I will be happy when consumers can choose whther or not to run windows or OS X on either their apple pc or any other pc (and before anyone mentions VirtualPC I stress natively run either OS).

In fact now that I think of it apple may even be breaking the law by selling its hardware and software as a bundled package - back at the dawn of the computing era IBM was forced to unbundle its software and hardware by the US Supreme Court.

And Linux is a better OS than both Windows and OSX. It's modular, is undergoing constant development, is free and it has a slew of features that neither have. However, particularly in regards to gaming there is a vicious cycle that is killng Linux - not enough people use it, so no games are ported to Linux, so noone uses it.
