I've owned 4 Apples myself since the early eighties, but I'm almost all Windows anymore, still have some Solaris at work but we haven't had any Mac's on site in about 5 years. I'd sure like to see a resurgence though, as you know I'm not a fan of Linux and would sure hate to see it replace Macs as the number 2 alternative out there.
This change will help Apple's chip production woes in the short term, but unless they start selling OSX as an option from all the major PC vendors, unfortunately I don't think they'll be able to grow their market share significantly in the face of the Linux onslaught. If they keep it where you have to buy the whole hardware and software solution at once, from Apple, and are locked in from that point on, this move will effectively be more out of desperation rather than a new marketing approach. If on the other hand they market a shrink wrap version for all Intel systems, or at a minimum partner with select vendors to offer an equivalently priced option to be sold as an option directly alongside the current Linux offerings, they could possibly see a strong growth in market share and dominate the "not Microsoft" market based on what I feel is an obviously superior product. Hopefully Jobs will make his intention known on Monday, I wish them luck either way.
Same ones?

Zilch OS Xs? for you then?
