PBS | I, Cringely . April 6, 2006 – A Whole New Ball Game

I predict that Apple will settle on 64-bit Intel processors ASAP (with FireWire 800 please), and at that time will announce a product similar to Boot Camp to allow OS X to run on bog-standard 32-bit PC hardware, turning the Boot Camp relationship on its head and trying to sell $99 copies of OS X to 100 million or so Windows owners.

Will Apple really do this? Won’t it cannibalize their hardware sales? That would make a good plot twist though.
