Why would people be even interested in using this? Most people would discard a linux-based x86 MacOS as being incompatible with Windows straight away, and ignore it. And among linux users, there's plenty of people who actually believe in the whole open source philosophy, who wouldn't touch it. Then there's people like myself who despise Apple's application-based GUI (with shared menu bar, etc), who wouldn't touch it with a forty foot pole. I'm perfectly happy with my Debian linux system - I've got all the software I want or need, I've got a fast, powerful, customizable desktop, and I've got it all for zero cost. Now Tell me what advantage paying a few hundred dollars per year in updates would provide to me, or any other linux user out there, compared to what we've got now.
