New Okay, let's see if I have this straight

I'm in charge of IT in a Windows-majority shop. Our policy is not to purchase or support Macs. Now you're saying that if Apple produces an x86-based Mac which runs Windows code, I'll fall all over myself to buy that instead of a much more reasonably priced Wintel box?

Not to mention that by running Windows software, Microsoft will have Apple even more by the short-and-curlies than they do now.

New Sorry must be silly.
About as silly as Atari and Commodore making PC Clones. Nobody will want to buy them because of the name.
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
