It seems that since Apple (Quote, Chart) decided to move its processors away from IBM's PowerPC and onto Intel (Quote, Chart), other companies might be looking for a way to get in themselves.
Michael Dell, Dell founder and chairman, told Fortune magazine Thursday he wouldn't mind adding Apple's OS to its software product list, which includes a couple flavors of Linux to go with its Windows-heavy lineup.
"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," he said in an e-mail to the publication.Quoted from: Dell Bullish on Mac OS?
Why don't the other companies just come out with their own flavor of linux. I mean it all starts out half developed as open-source projects, just like with OS X. Similar to the lindows operating system that Walmart sells. More and more computer hardware companies should just begin to develop their own instead of creating another "windows."
