Hypothetically:

1 & 2) games are irrelevent. YOu are supposing that people are gonna flock to OS X which is not the case. IF that were the case people would have flocked to other *free* and capable OSs in the past. NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP were on the PC, BeOS is on the PC, Solaris is on the PC, and countless more examples but they did not/are not faring well. People will *not* switch over, except for a very limited crowd that wants to test it out. What makes you think that devellopers who are not making mac games/software now are gonna do so if there is OS X on intel ? Programming in windows is different from programming in OS X. Devellopers use windows APIs and windows technologies like directX for their windows programms and apple/NeXT APIs to use their apple products.

3) Perfect bridge...dont think sooooo. SAme reason as above.

4) PC users are dumbheaded. They will always think that apple, and any other OS copmany is *bad* because they dont run windows (unless u get an educated user that has used another OS other than windows SERIOUSLY )

5) MS will NOT die and will not get sick unless the goverment breaks them up just like they did in the AT&T and the standard oil cases.



1) Apple WILL NOT increase hardware sales.

2) Maybe

3) Perhaps

4) No way
