In a German computer forum someone did share an interesting vision for the future:
HP computers with a HP-OS
Dell computers with a Dell-OS
MS computers with Microsoft-OS
Apple computers with Mac-OS
and all OSs are customized Linux systems, compatible to all applications, but having different features.
Well it sounds a bit strange.
About running Mac OS on PCs: Apple made a bad experience with licensing the OS and the computers built from other companies were not cheaper.
On the other hand, when I compare the price of Mac mini with another Dual core mini PC (Fujitsu-Siemens for example), the Mac is the same price or a bit less.
Back to the gadgets, I would wish a dashboard for open the gadgets, because all gadgets permanent in the sidebar will turn it to a mess.
Or is it possible to put all gadgets into a folder and put this folder into the sidebar (doesn't look so nice, but may be helpful too)?

The new Mac OS X "Leopard" includes the possibility, to boot Linux and Windows with no problems (the only limit may be, that Win XP SP2 is minimum and the availability of Vista drivers).
I like it to use two computers, for me it's no advantage to run Windows and Mac OS on one machine, I need it sometimes, to burn on the one computer some DVDs and to surf on the other computer in Internet.
But I can understand, that people may prefer, not to buy two cheaper computers, but a better one (Quadcore workstation) and to run both OS on them.
In a Mac Forum someone said, that the Mac Quadcore computers are less expensive, than HP server and so he asked about how to run Windows server OS on Apple hardware.
I think, Apple takes customers seriously and so, they will soon offer the drivers you need for perfect Vista using on Mac.
