If Steverino really wants to compete with WinNux, then he need to unbundle OSX from his overpriced designer hardware. If the OS is really as elegant, wonderful and zenlike as the faithful claim, Apple could make a lot more more money and have a bigger impact selling the software. It may be that not doing so was the price Bill Gates extracted to produce an Intel version of MacOffice. As it stands, I doubt that the switch to Intel Inside will gain Apple more than a few points of market share--minus a few true believers who will revolt at this apostacy. Of course, Steve could have really shaken things up by going with AMD. Some hacker will probably fix that as soon as OSX-86 hits the street :-)
