Just hyperthetically, say INTC decided to form a joint venture with IBM, SUNW, ORCL to develop a new generation of OS that solely runs on its processor after the current law suit is over, is it that difficult to do? Sure, it will probably take several years for the OS to mature, but if these guys decide to offer competitive pricing, who's to say that consumers won't embrace their OS?

Too many people in the corporate world are comfortable with Windows--a new operating system would eat up the IT budgets for a lot of companies. For their home, the same people would want to use windows since they know it. The market entry for broad acceptance is almost impossible. The same goes for Office.
