[X4U] Re: Apple dumping OSX....

[Dominic]

I am by no means an expert on the printing and graphics industry so  
your points are well taken regarding Adobe's threat to Apple's  
immediate success.

But how about the article regarding Apple becoming a hardware only  
company and leaving OSX behind? I always believed, rightly or wrongly  
(I am no Mac expert), that the Mac OS was simply the enabler to sell  
hardware. If Apple moves to a more common hardware platform, would  
they still need the OS?

Cheers,

domi
