So, the question is: Why not modify OSX to run on any PC and not just Mac? If you wonder about the feasibility of this idea, note that a hacker succeeded in doing it already with OSX 10.4.8. If Apple do that, I guess that many MS-Windows users will shift their preferences to Mac's OSX for various reasons.
- First, this is a fine looking OS. And it does that without being memory and CPU greedy relative to MS-Windows.
- Second, it is more stable than Windows, due to its internal kernel which is based on Unix/Linux basis.
- Third, most (maybe all) of the important software is running on OSX just as well as on MS-Windows. Including some must-haves like MS-Office. This will solve many of current Linux users, who have to settle for less popular software substitutes, like Open-Office.
There are only three explanations: One, Apple is afraid of MS. Maybe they are afraid that MS will stop developing for Mac OSX and cut the branch of the tree on which Mac users are sitting. The second Apple are too short sighted and they prefer to sell hardware (iMacs, iBooks, iEtcs.) instead of software. The last one is that they simply hate us, the simple users. Why?
