The market conditions are different now, and the technologies are mature. I think this plan would work well for Apple.
Sure, you had to already knew about this. The question is if Bill G is going to get a kickback for helping Apple set it up. Because it will be smoothly implemented, no reverse engineer hack BS on the Mac I'm sure, that's for the Linux clowns. If they handle it right there's a great liklihood my next computer will be Apple, just like my first one was. That I owned, of course. I'm already sort of looking forward to it.
