If you recall Jobs stopped Apple from licensing the Mac OS to third
parties. I would love now that he is gone for the execs to put the Mac
OS back on the market as an alternate to Windows. It would really be a
corporate war worth seeing as millions would drop Windows for it. I
believe it would make Apple even richer.
Some might argue that it would be a support nightmare but keep in mind
that the OS based on Open BSD has a superior security model than
Windows. Hardware compatibility is always a bitch but like Linux the
Mac OS could give new life to older computers which get bogged down with
Microsoft's lousy approach (sort of a scaled down mainframe) to an OS.
Linux is great but the media boys are terrified of it so most people
still need either a Windows machine or a Mac for movies. Plus there is
still too much geek expertise involved to do some things. The other
party soon arriving will be Google as their desktop OS becomes more
available (already on come netbooks).
