Acording to a someone I spoke to who works for Apple (he was a customer at Radio Shack when I worked there, so you judge the validity of what he says,) Apple is fine-tuning a release of OS X that will run on the x86 architecture, and has been doing so secretly for years. According to the man who told me this, they will wait until a release date is scheduled for Windows Longhorn, and saturate media outlets with advertising one week beforehand, and finally release their OS the day before Longhorn debuts. Ads will allegedly focus on Longhorn's big-brother-like features, especially its ability to automatically delete non-licensed media.
