Apple unveils Windows software for Macs

Now how about MacOS for non Apple Hardware.
This is long overdue.

All in due course but not in the way that you think.

Some folks already suspect that Apple will soon release their long delayed Cocoa/Carbon programming framework for XP.

This will be like an API layer sitting on top of XP which would allow you to run any Intel compiled universal MacOS binary on your Windows desktop and the program will look and behave and act as if it was running on a Mac.

That would be ugly and pointless. A reason a lot people choose osx these days is to get away from all the vulnerabilities of XP.

Even the new boot camp comes with a warning - basically you've made your bed - now sleep in it.
 
Even Apple's OS have vulnerabilities. It's just that too little people use it, that it doesn't get exploited. Same with Linux and every other OS.

One day you will see, when Linux or Mac rules the world, they will be just as exploited.
