Apple made a wrong turn?

With the latest development of offering "Boot Camp" for running windows on mac, I believe Apple is heading down a road with a dead end. Just think about it. They made it possible for mac users to try out windows, but not for Windows users to try out Mac OSX. In the majority of the cases where people are unhappy with their Wintel machine, what is the root cause? The hardware, or the operating system? I believe it is the operating system, and the hardware is fine. Just look at how wonderfully linux runs on the exact same hardware! Apple should be offering instead a version of Mac OS X that runs on a plain vanilla Intel machine. By doing that, they would be offering people who are sick of windows an easy way to switch. By letting people run windows on a mac instead, the eventual outcome will either be: mac users defect to Windows because they discovered how nice it is to be compatible with 95% of the rest of the world, or the status quo (nobody defects from the mac camp). It is not possible for a wintel user to switch to mac at the moment without a substantial outlay of cash for new hardware, so it is highly unlikely to happen. Apple should make it easy for those people to switch, thereby also increasing the market share for mac OS. That is their biggest problem right now: few people will develop software for mac OS because so few people use it, and so few people use it because there aren't enough applications for it. I currently own a mac, but also have some legacy Wintel machines that are still pretty decent. I'd love to run mac OS X on those.

Its a fatuous decision to enter the MS/Intel arena.
Without PowerPC&OS2, what's the taste of the Apple like?

It's just about money. Apple is no different than any other business, they want to make more money. Apparently they think this will do just that. People in these forums are constantly debating motives by businesses, and they seem to come up with all kinds of stuff, some really out there. They're just business decisions that they believe will make them more money, either now or sometime in the near future. Computer geeks aren't making these decisions, businessmen are.
