OSX would run killer on pc hardware and it would win alot of you "I hate apple boneheads" over to the light side.
The biggest problem would be, STeve "I must control everything" joBS.
The question: Why must these OS makers be complete and total weird fuckoffs. Bill and Steve surly come from the same gene pool.
What if bill,steve and linus got together worked out a real next gen OS.
Oh, how happy the world would be.

Man, I'm almost willing to say that I'd rather see the G4 CPUs running x86 software, instead. Those things are pretty nice as far as processors go...it's a pity that the hardware available for them sucks ass, and the OS they use is pure and utter crap.

No, it's all those 1's and 0's rolling around there heads at night.
I'd bet both bill & steve are black and white kind of guys, no shades of gray.THEY MUST CONTROL IT, YOU WILL BE OURS
Bill = Buy it, steal it or destroy it.
Steve = develope it, borrow it or destroy it.

linus = develope it, share it or ingore it.
