jh2112 is on a distinguished road
IMO, If Apple wished to increase market share all they'd need to do would be:
Update OSX86 by adding Apple hardware only features. (No doubt it would be hacked though.)
Then release OSX86 to run on any pc, not just Apple hardware. This should surely make a large stack of cash, I think that OSX is superior to Windows, it can't be too hard to convince others.
Lower cost of ownership, reliability, security and current lack of viruses would encourage business to switch their software at point of licence renewal.
Compatability with current hardware could encourage home users, who dislike Windows and its issues, to try. (Apple could even offer a try before you buy trial.)
Apple hardware would continue to sell as Apple hardware only features would drive sales.
