OK, but as I've also mentioned many times before, it would be far easier for Apple to get OS X on cheaper machines by simply offering cheaper Macs than by attempting to support a substantial fraction of the hardware out there in the generic x86 world.Mayor Of R'lyehJohn SladeZnU
The reason why OS X market share will remain small is becaue Apple only wants to make it for a tiny segment of the computer market. That being the Mac. If it was available to every other PC, it might catch on and more companies would write software for it. As it is now, it's just a niche OS.
I've asked this question quite a lot previously, but I'll ask it again:
Precisely what is supposed to be so much more compelling about OS X on, for instance, a Dell, vs. OS X on a Mac?
The price of the HW...duh!
