x86 Mac makes Microsoft's life exciting again

Quote:Microsoft gets a de facto sale of Office for Mac with every new professional Mac purchased, and a copy of Virtual PC for Mac for those who don't know how awful it really is, or who know it's crap (not the developers' fault) but can't be without it.

When Apple set the Earth's axis to tilting with total abandonment of PowerPC in favor of x86, Microsoft's opportunities bloomed. Now every Mac sale also sells a copy of Office for Windows plus a valid Windows license to run it. There are some details to work out, I imagine, like who gets to be on top--does Windows host OS X, or is it the other way around--but it's a match that has to be made.

Consumers won't buy Intel-based Macs because they won't run Windows...
