It's not actually Microsoft doing this but I suppose that's irrelevant really. I think if you look a little further down the road you'll see what I think is Apple's real plan here. To be able to run windows applications inside of Mac OS x without having to own a copy of windows. By all accounts Apple just included windows API's from M$ inside of the latest developer build of OS X, there is only on reason I can think of for them to do that. Apple don't want their users to have to worry about dual booting or installing a virtual OS inside of OS X, it's just way too geeky to them, Apple want the process to be seamless and simple for the user like everything else they do. So let me ask you this, if you are able to run a Windows .exe inside of OS X without having to own a copy of Windows (like Wine I guess) how do you think M$ will react?.
