This guy claims that making the OSX run on
non-proprietary hardware would doom the Mac
to the fate of Be and failed Linux distributions.

I personally think the opposite.

I think M$ would "port" Windows to support the
x86 "proprietary" hardware. (Not a big jump,
since its now on its native processor).

Probably as a dual boot at first, then the usual
Microsoft strategy of making the other installed
OS (OSX) more and more problematic
until the user gets fed up and defaults to
M$.

Anyone who remembers OS/2 knows what I am talking about.
