Same thoughts here. My 1.6Ghz P-M is nice. I just wish it had Hyperthreading.

What's sad is that a 1.6Ghz P-M is about the equivalent of a 2.4Ghz P4.

Michael Dell said he would personally like to offer OS X in the event that Apple makes it cross-platform. The company did not say they'd sell OS X, and Apple's stance is that OS X is a Mac-exclusive OS.

That's what I meant by "talked about." I never said that they were currently offering it.

The upcoming Intel-based OS X could still be purchased and hacked by end users, and the information on how to do it would wind up far and wide. :')

Your comment gave the impression that Dell the company talked about offering OS X, and therefore it's a guarantee that OS X will be available for PCs.

My point was that if Dell is talking about offering it, then it must be possible to run OSX on machines other than those made by Apple.

Except he was speaking in the hypothetical. The question was "If Apple makes OS X cross-platform, would you be interested in selling it?"

Dell is NOT talking about offering it. The man was answering a what-if question, and the company hasn't even answered the hypothetical question.

I know what your point was, which is why I corrected you before.
