Since development began on porting OSX to Intel hardware there has been much interest in getting the OS to run on generic PC kit. Projects like OSx86 popped up along with developers like "Maxxus" who seemed to poses uncanny insight into the inner workings of the kernel and a miraculous ability to instantly patch official releases to install on generic PC hardware. I remember being intrigued at the time and surprised at the ease with which I installed OSX (10.4.3 at the time) onto an assortment of PCs includin my HP DV1nnn laptop and a couple of old desktops.
And now this.. drop Wine (or a Winesque M$ dll "compatibility layer") into OSX and it has the potential to run Windose apps natively.
What do you get if you combine all three?
...an Instantly popular OSX DVD which will install on *any* PC and run any Windose apps you might fancy. Cunning.

Jobs' feindish plan for global domination...
Has anyone else noticed the foundations being laid for an OS coup d'état?
The iPod / iTunes leader units are in place, popular awareness and demand for Appleware is certainly healthy (though admittedly the iCon™®© isn't doing too well YET)
