Absolutely. Too bad Apple still haven't gotten their licensing heads out of
their licensing ...
What they *ought* to be doing is competing against MS-Windows in the OS
market, and promoting MacOS X like crazy to Compaq, Dell, IBM, etc., as a
commercial quality, CONSUMER-ORIENTED, *nix based GUI platform with real
application developers backing it. It is the only realistic challenger on
the horizon to MS-Windows in the consumer space.
Of course, if they do, Microsoft may pull the plug on Mac Office ...
