I think it would do like th iPod. OS X is a cool OS... everybody hates Windows. Why would you go Windows when you can go OS X?

If is doesn't have a Motorola 68000 processor, and I mean a 68000 - not a 68020, '030, or '040, a 68000 - it's not a Mac.

Apple would never make intel for PC, if it did, it would be the end of the world...

It makes sense, it "leaves the door open" in case Apple ever needed to market OSX to any other platforms. Just the way OSX was quietly developed, crossplatform even during the gold…
