I always figured this was an obvious option for Apple, but it's still surprising to see Jobs actually going through with it. Microsoft can't be too happy. The hardware was always the big divide that ultimately led to Microsoft OS domination and Apple's niche, but now that's gone and there may be no good reason NOT to switch to MacOS. I thought the biggest obstacle to Apple making the "switch" is that they must have nice profit margins on hardware, so how is this going to affect Apple's shareholder value?
