- Microsoft has declared the war on Macs from the moment they released
- Windows. Apple sued to no avail and Windows sales are skyrocketing. Now
- they have released Windows for workgroups and Video for windows (A
- quicktime competitor) Why doesn't Apple port the OS to the PC world? I
- understand that it may hurt some of their hardware sales, but what would
- hurt more, the MAC OS running on a PC or Windows machines? Apple has always
- been touted as an excellent software company. Show it then! Stick it to
- Microsoft the way they have been doing it to the Mac; make Bill Gates sleep
- restless at night. I don't know how feasible it would be to port the OS,
- especially since it would have to be compatible with DOS and Windows to be
- competitive, but if it can be done I would like to see it.
