I am not sure if you understand the situation. Currently, Apple holds the control card regarding PowerBook licensing authority. Unfortunately, Apple provided the license to IBM and hence IBM could license PowerBook to itself as well as sub-license to other companies. If IBM sub-licenses it to the clone comapnies, Apple would lose this control card. The point is clear that IBM tries to use this advantage to control when Apple can port the new OS to WinTel since it will impact Mac sales and indirectly affect PowerPC chips sales. Will IBM enter MacOS platform market? I think it is not now, but maybe in the future depending on the situation. -IMHO
