Looks like the rest of the computer world is getting the Mac message and seeing the potential. This is a pretty significant development, the first time a major PC player has publically welcomed the idea of doing with Mac software what they do with Windows. Dell Says He’d Sell Apple’s Mac OS
The most important part of the article is “assuming that Apple CEO Steve Jobs ever decides to license it to PC companies. (For now, Jobs SAYS HE WON’T.)” (Capitalization added).
Apple is a hardware company first and foremost. Apple is more in competition with Dell than they are with Microsoft. Apple will not license OS X to Dell. They tried the cloning route years ago and it about killed the company.
