I wish they'd do that too, but somehow I don't think it'll happen - at
least for the Aqua/Quartz stuff that's what really makes OS X so friendly.
I think they'd be unable to support the wide range of PC hardware out
there.

Plus I suspect the folks in Redmond wouldn't be too pleased at having a new
competitor on the x86 platform and like it or not Apple have to take that
into account.
