Sorry Henry, I'm not biting.

Here's coming back to earth:
The OS war was won years ago -- by Microsoft.  No amount of  
screaming, gnashing of teeth or wishful thinking is going to change  
it.  Apple is primarily a hardware company, not a software company.   
The PowerBook competes with the Dell Inspiron, HP Pavilion, and IBM  
(Lenovo) ThinkPad, not with Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Mac OS only works on Apple hardware, and Apple intends to keep it  
that way.  So much for the market share pipe dream.......
