    I hope that we NEVER see the day that OSX is released for Intel machines.

    Apple would never release OS X for Intel. The only reason that Apple might (I say "might" because I don't know if they have this or not) have a port of OS X for Intel is just in case Motorola and the PowerPC goes up in smoke, and Apple has no other alternative. I highly doubt that will happen anytime soon, but I think that it's kind of nice to have a backup plan in case that happens.

    But unless that happens, OS X on Intel will never see the light of day, and all of those PC users that want Mac OS X can go out and buy a Mac.

    Damn Straight! Increase market share up to 10% at least! Then Motorola will light a fire under their asses and get to work on the G6!

    and another thing - I think the thing that scares me most about the prospect of OSX on a £400 PC box is that I might buy one. This would never doo. I need saving from my inner tight-fistedness.
