"I concur with the statement that OSX is the perfect OS for the majority of users. I also buy that it's trumped by the fact that it's only licensed to run on Apple hardware (albeit, we all know its possible to run it on non-Apple hardware). "
You make some very good points. I do a lot of Audio/Video work and simply put OS X is the best OS presently out there for this, unless you happen to have a few hundred thousand dollars to spend. As for the average computer user, they mainly do email, finances, and web browsing. All of which is pretty much seamless in OS X.
I agree, it would be nice if Apple would release OS X for any Intel based system. But, I think they should do so with the caveat that if you run it on non Apple HW do not expect support from them. I think they would more than make up for any lost HW sales from sales of the OS itself.
Anyway, just my 2 cents worth.
