That's my off-topic .02, anyway.
You know, they [being NeXT] had OpenStep running quite happily on Window's
boxes, natively. Sure, you had to install a pretty large runtime [ala
Java], but application bundles included both 68K and x86 binaries and ran
natively.
But that's all in the distant past.
Apple does appear to be interested in developers that want to sell Mac and
Wintel solutions...[well, unless they are REALLY big].
