Yes. And others using Apples OS will only be good for Apple. They can try to keep their hardware sales by preventing other hardware firms, but that wont work. It is Microsoft that sells Intel chips, not the opposite. Its about getting market share, get the OS out there near and far, so the number of users will grow, so that more new application writers will include Apple OS. In fact, if Apple decided to give Rhapsody away with source code (as Netscape is doing their Communicator), then it would penetrate rather quickly across all platforms I believe. It could outdo NT if it was source ware, and Bill would really get comb for his hair. There is nothing Jobs would rather do, so I predict that just that will happen, even though he has always wanted a closed system. He who has the OS market gets to make the money.
