Apple gearing up for OS war
Is Apple ready to fight the evil empire?

APPLE PUNDITS are predicting that the entertainment gear maker is set to take on Microsoft in an operating system war again.


According to Architosh, an Apple insider has told it that Apple's Messiah Steve Jobs is planning to make an announcement about expanding the Macintosh market share soon.

Now that is apparently a portent of things to come, as Jobs has for the last couple of years said that market share isn't that important.

However there are other important signs of the impeding operating system Armageddon, says Architosh.

That is that a patent has been discovered that allows Apple to protect the installation of the Mac OS X to just Apple-produced hardware. The patent describes a process whereby users would be able to load one of three operating systems as their primary OS and then load a secondary operating system as their secondary OS. The patent indicates a way the company will prevent Mac OS X from being installed on other hardware, while simultaneously dealing with multi-OS startup and the use of Virtual Machines on future Intel based Mac OS X systems.
