a windows box could also be a mac.... if you bought a mac. You can install windows on either, but then you need to hack around to get mac os on the other. The inability to install Mac OS on non-Apple hardware is my main problem with it.
Then Apple would have to deal with all the different hardware drivers/issues. It's not going to happen. It's a closed system which is it's strength and it's weakness. Personally, I'd prefer to choose my own hardware.
Hey, Writing this from an Osx86 Leopard box with an AMD 64 3400+
Running beatifully. I honestly would only change one thing with leopard... make the stacks nestable, where if I open a stack, then click on a folder, it should open that folder in the current stack, not open it in finder.

Installable on Windows boxes!
I'd love to try Leopard but don't want an expensive MacBook.
A Windows box could also be a Mac. ;)
If you have an Intel processor, you can. Google OSx8686.
Oops, make that OSx86. My bad!

I agree, Mac hard ware is (WAY) overpriced. comparable PC laptops cost half as much
