I'll be glad to steal a copy of the Mac OS for my spare machine. How does this help Apple again?

this actually helps Apple by getting PC users accustomed to Mac... I have NEVER used a mac... I would like to try... IF people use this say as like a beta to introduce them to the Mac OS, their is a possibility that they will buy a mac next time. OR, if Apple wants to make this OS available to PC's they could take a lot of business away from Microsoft.

userbase.

Piracy is a big feather in microsoft's cap. They won't admit it. Many won't. But between WGA and DRM if MS's pirate community jumped ship they'd lose a fairly large number.

Being as Apple is also(rumor) going to impose DRM upon it's customers, linux has the most to gain long term.
