Yes, take away the fact that currently it is not legal, just based strickly on hardware/software compatibility... (as most of you know, I am VERY much against any kind of software piracy/illegal use of software..)

You response was interesting... What facts have led you to the conclusion that the performance of a PC compatible machine running the MAC OS X would be dismal?

I dont really what to get into semantics but what makes a "PC" a PC? Some say its just a computer that runs Windows, Unix or Linux.. well, hardware wise, why would the new MAC OS X NOT be able to handle a PC (now that the OS is Unix based...)?

Also, the entire idea of a PC-compatible machine was that it had an IBM-compatible microprocessor... which makes me think that Apple's new OS is exactly what they needed to join forces with Intel...

What am I missing?
This is great!! A MODERATOR has taken a thread completely off discussion, by starting a discussion with an ADMIN!!!! Doesn't happen that often

Yeah i know. I was just kidding I personally think that Macs and PCs are both great and if they attempt to combine them in any way, both will lose something
