- Are you stupid or something? Apple OWNS MacOS. Without Apple, they are
- not legally allowed to produce those machines. If Microsoft, Sun, or IBM
- purchased the machine they are likely as not to simply integrate what
- they want into their own operating systems and dump Mac OS and clones
- altogether.

- Even if they DID allow clones to be made, there would likely be no further
- major development and with that in mind the Mac would lose marketshare by
- the bucketload. In two years, it'd be no more a blip than the Amiga.
