Once the Apple Operating systems run on Intel, it isn't a big sttep to have them run on PCs. That will let PC users start out with a dual boot system and replace their Windoze Apps over time with Mac Apps until they can finally dump Microsloth altogether.
The big barrier of changing systems now is not the cost of the machine, but the cost of replacing all your software at the same time.

I don't think that Apple has any intention of making a version of the OS that will run on other manufacturer's machines. That is a different issue and is NOT what is being reported.

until they can finally dump Microsloth altogether Microsoft makes the most popular software for the Mac.

It's not just that the OS will run on another chip - it's also that the OS will know where to look for the I/O. The board's structure doesn't necessarily have to be the same...
