As for Rhapsody, true enough -- but Rhapsody is dead and buried with 
a stake through its heart. Among the first Jobs' deeds after Apple 
merged with Next and he returned to Apple as CEO was to kill Rhapsody 
and substitute what became OS X.

What with the noise about CISC and RISC,  IBM being the latter and 
Intel the former;  what with some considerable Wintel viri 
exploitation of the Intel CPU's themselves; what with the new IBM 
(jargon escapes me at the moment) chip array as CPU with attendant 
considerable parallel processing capabilities; I can't imagine Jobs 
switching.  If Intel has finally come up with RISC and is about to 
let it out of the closet, then maybe.

Day after tomorrow.

Intel in Apple is made to order for US v Intel for anti-trust.
