I think Apple's recovery is at least partly due to the free promotion they get from Rush.

The other problem Apple needs to think about is the inevitable dual-boot machine. Gamers are not going to run OSX with no games, and game developers are not going to develop for OSX if people can boot Macs to Windows.

What color is the sky on your planet? If you took a poll of the political leanings of Mac owners, the numbers wouldn't be tipping ot the right anytime soon.

Once Windows supports the right hardware, it should be easy to boot Windows on a Mac. I don't think Apple is worried about that. OTOH, VM software is getting pretty good, and there's no architecture-translation performance penalty for the Intel Macs.
