Microsoft, nor Apple should be allowed to build their own proprietary systems forcing people to buy their's, or forget it. While MS doesn't and never has, Apple has relied upon antiquated hardware to sell high for huge profits from machines that can't match current technology. Apple needs to realize that people are much, much smarter these days, give into the revolution, get on the bandwagon, raise their price on their OSX's and make them compatible aka MS. Apple can still build their own machines, but at the same time offer an OS to keep them from being taken to court. I see this as the only out for Apple...Steve better plan for the future because it's just around the corner before you and I will be able to purchase a MAC OS that will run on 99% of the homebuilt machines and manufacturers in the world. It's the only way.
