Absolutely, Apple's opportunity is staggering given the gigantic plague infesting the windoze world. If they do the pentium processor integration right, they could easily be at 20% market share in 5 years (longhorn will be delayed another year by then). OS X on a pentium box that could boot windoze. It would fly into most companies under the "its a windoze box" on the PO. Then once it hits the desk, it'll never leave OS X, and the secretaries, marketing mavens and program managers won't care either way. They'll happily run office, bill will get his windoze tax (maybe- he still excludes multiple OS's which we all thot was illegal) and apple will sell OS updates. "Dude you're gettin a Dell" should make the average guy shiver in abject terror.
