What's your vector Victor?
Apple doesn't have a chance of moving into business class Windows/Linux territory unless they OEM OSX and open up their proprietary ways.

Windows Server 2008 shares the same kernel as Vista SP1, but, interestingly 'retreats' from registry-based gui 'click next' configuration to a command-line interface 'Linux modular approach' where 'everything' is a file and systems can be built, incrementally, to suit a given purpose.

With server management 'roles' a good Windows admin can configure a machine with no more and no less than what's needed. Make WS 2008 behave as a conservative Desktop PC up to a scalable multi-core scientific workstation or 'headless' web server.

This is a significant step in the right direction for MS.
