Windows binaries execution ?
Not impossible if you look at opensource projetcs like wine.
So perhaps lot of companies will not port software, but just let
them run into MacOS X natively
This is just suppositions, and a bit off-topic, I know.
If you actually try WINE, you'll realise that it's not as easy as you
make out. WINE supports very few products, and doesn't claim to
duplicate windows APIs... all it claims is it lets a certain few apps
run. If Apple did claim to have reverse engineered windows' APIs, I
don't think MS would be too chuffed, and Apple may have a large
number of Lawyers knocking on their door.
