There are several information that Apple is planning to stop the development of MacOS X in 2010 and that Apple Macs will use Windows Vista from 2008 and on (1 year after Vista's release). MacOS costs to Apple as much money as Windows devlopment costs to Microsoft but without the same income. There will be a special version of Windows Vista for Macs (probably after the release of the first service pack) with an interface similar to MacOS. That sounds strange but strange sounded also some years before the fact that Apple would ever use Intel's CPUs.
Already many users managed to install Windows on Macs and also make a dual-boot system. Steve Jobs has been mentioning for years now that Apple is a hardware company. It should also considered that Apple had serious financial problems when their product line was based on Macs with MacOS, which were solved with the launch of iPod and iTunes (which bring much more money to Apple than its other hardware and software). The problem is how Apple Mac fans will react if Apple will finally make the switch to Windows Vista (the third and more serious switch by Apple after the change of cpus from Motorola to IBM PowerPC and then from PowerPC to Intel Core). If this switch finally occurs, it will be one the bigger changes in computer history. Many users though (including me), like the idea of a personal computer with the ease of Windows (programs, games, compatibility with almost anyone) and the design of a Mac computer (stylish, quality).
