How does this even remotely constitute **yelling, "The sky is
falling!"**?? All I said was  - with the "killer Mac Apps" being ported to
Windows, PC users will have even less on an incentive to give up their PCs
and switch over to a Mac.

All I'm saying here is that the future Mac OS' (s) should be created in
such a way that they would be able to run ALL Windoze programs, thus
giving US, the loyal Mac user community the same advantage that the PC
users have. You want to tell us that it is an unreasonable wish, or that
it can't be done? 

Well - I have faith in Apple - this is just my wish(ful) thinking...for
whatever it's worth, for a better, more prosperous Apple - to benefit us
all.

Best,
