[Chris Hunter <cjhunter@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure ... it was a race to get it running, so they got just the one
version going ... and it would make a lot of business sense for Apple to
get 'XP going on their machines ... 'open up the market, etc ... ... the
advantage is less clear from the MS side, of course, but I can't see it
would do them much harm ...
