Although obviously a joke, its going to be a reality soon enough in some sense.
What’s absolutely going to happen is that Apple OS will run on an Intel or AMD box in a couple of years basically turning Apple into a software and gadget company. OSX will run a small handful of Apple apps while most of the ‘Windows’ apps will run in a application shell. So in a few years the Macintel with OSX will be running mostly Windows 64 bit applications for the average consumer. Sure, some of the ‘better’ apps will be Apple but, well you know the rest.
He is also the man who inspired 3 of the greatest innovations in the last 20 years in the Apple II, Macintosh and iPod. Notice that after Steve left Apple, even Burrell Smith and Andy Hertzfeld admitted that they were last motivated back only in 1984. Notice that Woz hasn't done anything of repute since leaving Apple? One of the main reasons, you are sitting here typing on your AMD box, is because of an "egocentric, selfish #######". For your sake, read
this and
this and tell me he'd be working for Sony.
Secondly, you a prophet now? Or are you Bud Tribble in disguise trying to get back at Steve?

Sure, EVERYONE knows that OS X will run on another box in a couple years. Chairman Bill said that in the 1980s, they pressured John Sculley to do it in the 1990s and Wired also ran an obituary on it in 1997, pleading them to license it out. ####, Steve has said it about a million and two times that this gives them better quality control when they build everything in house. Even Time ran an article on how effective it was barely a month ago. Read
this.
Your ignorant posts just shows the absolute lack of depth you have on Apple Computer. The largest mistake that the mainstream media and people like you make is that Apple is
just another company.
It's sure far as hell from that.
And lastly, it's Mac OS. It has been since 1984 and not Apple OS. It's like calling Windows, Microsoft OS
