May be too soon to tell, but I think Jobs and company are going to  
have to do much better keeping the wintel hackers out of OSX. After  
all, many PC people might try running a lightly hacked OSX on a $300  
Dell box.  And as they are so used to crashes and lock-ups from XP  
and Longhorn, the hacked OSX might perform in a similar shaky  
manner... Leading them to think that OSX is not that big of a deal.  
They would skip the experience of using it on Apple hardware and  
therefore miss the whole stable-smooth-aesthetic experience.
