True Brad, but you response assumes that the effect of making a ‘Boot Camp for PC’ or otherwise licensing OS X for the PC would be to fundamentally undermine Apple’s hardware business and to turn Apple into just, or primarily, a software company. That might be true…or it might not. My point is that the argument is analogous, in some ways, to the current argument surrounding Boot Camp for Mac that maintains that its effect will be to fundamentally undermine software development for the Mac, turning Apple into just another PC manufacturer. That may or may not be true as well. In each case, the point is at least arguable either way.
