Windows delay opens door for Apple.

>It means Apple has been given an opening. Slight, I admit it, but an
opening nonetheless - an opening to pull away a few PC cloners into the
PowerPC cloner category, and a chance to offer them all a real alternative
to Windows: Rhapsody running on Intel.

Think about it. It's technically possible right now. It's been talked about.
But Apple has not committed to it because of the bad effects it might have
on Mac OS and Power Mac sales.

But what if Rhapsody for Intel did not include the Blue Box, at least not
right away? What if Rhapsody for Intel instead included a Black Box that
would run Windows 95/97/NT apps (it could license this from Insignia
Solutions Inc. if it needed to), plus the OpenStep Yellow Box? This would
give Intel customers and Intel clone manufacturers a choice in OS,
without giving up their Windows applications.<
