Apple needs to do a couple small things to ensure their success - Offer running Dual OS's on their computers and yes one would be Windows. Don't worry Mac Boys your primary OS would still be MAC, you would just have an option without running an emulator to run in a pure windows environment.
The second thing they need to do is allow other companies to copy their hardware components such as buses, expansion cards, etc... without any licensing fees. If they do this they STILL could possibly have a chance especially in today's competitve market. They could team up with a company such as AMD and make a go at AMD=Apple and Pentium=PC in a sense if you follow what I am getting at?
There is still alot apple can do but since an Industry Standard has already pretty much been incorporated I think they are going to have to accept they fact they blew it when they wouldn't let companies copy their hardware without royalty fees abd blew their chance to be the industry standard.
As they say "If you can't beat 'em than join them"
Those of you worried about losing your current expansion cards etc etc etc - Think of this as a TRUE MONSTER machine. A combination of PC/MAC. Truth of the matter is more PC enthusiasts might try the MAC OS for the first time and it would become a standard option to run both OS's on both PC/MAC alike leading to more sales of both Microsoft's OS and MAC's OS
A Perfect world for everyone.... As I wouldn't mind trying a MAC os sometime, never used one in my LIFE.
