This would be hilarious - Apple selling a better version of Windows than Microsoft's.

IBM already tried this. Microsoft simply tweaked the memory model and broke the compatibility.

but rather by Apple implementing the Windows API directly in OS X 10.5 The Windows API!!!
Just off hand that doesn't make any sense to me. Could there possibly be a Windows API? Windows is a large and complicated system not just a group of software defined interfaces. I'm not a programmer (at least not a real one) so go gently on me if I'm way off base here.

... or Apple selling an OS with all the vulnerabilities of Windows AND Mac machines ...

primarily because most users will already have XP licenses they can transfer Maybe. A lot of people get licenses via OEM, and IIRC those are getting pretty restrictive these days.
