    http://www.macrumors.com/2008/06/06/lack-of-mac-branding-raises-questions/

    TheAppleBlog raises a question that has been on the minds of many this evening regarding the notable lack of "Mac" branding on WWDC banners. Their conclusion? Is Apple planning on distributing OS X to computers other than Macs?

    At MacRumors, we try to avoid purely speculative conclusions, but in so much as its been on the minds of readers, we'll post this as a discussion piece. A few rumored changes could be positioning Apple for a transition to sell OS X for generic PCs:

    - Changing .Mac to Me.com (platform neutral)
    - OS X Leopard (not Mac OS X Leopard)
    - 10.6 to be Intel only (dropping PowerPC would be necessary)
    - "No new features" in 10.6 could be due to resources devoted to just making 10.6 "PC compatible"

    Again, this should not even be considered a rumor. Only speculation, and it assumes that the above rumors are, in fact, true.

    yeah, as you said, they'd be like microsoft, b/c they'd make os x leopard more similar to windows to get people to change over, and to do that, they'd have to make it run on pc's
