I'd say offer OSX for the PC at $49.95 and force M$ to slash their prices and their profits in half. That's the sound of a 800lbs gorilla falling.

But Linux for the PC is priced at $0.00, and the gorilla stands. The reason people prefer Windows to Linux is that it runs most software on virtually all hardware. Doesn't OSX has the same problem as Linux?

Linux doesn't have the marketing power of Apple.

That's not why people don't use Linux. I'd have used Ubuntu had it not broken my sound system. OS X would have the exact same problem.
