And so it begins. This is preparing the public for what is next, OSX for all.

| Journalist David Kirkpatrick wrote in his weekly column in Fortune Magazine that Michael Dell has openly expressed interest in licensing Apple's Mac OS X if the company decides to go that route. Other companies have reportedly been keen on the idea as well, but refused to be named publicly. According to Kirkpatrick, these companies are at the mercy of Microsoft and could face some kind of retaliation from Redmond if they make their positions public. |

I read an Interview with one of Apples top guys - he said that OS X will always run on Apple hardware and will not be run on anything else. I'll have to dig the Interview up from my links.

Don't believe that something they might say now will never happen.

Why? What is the real difference between Apple hardware, and any other computer?
