The "end for OS X" is a giant load of nonsense from someone focused on iOS. I could see eventually merging iOS and OSX, but Apple is a bit hoist on its own petard there since it insists that the experiences be completely different. Almost everything below the UI layer is the same. Apple makes plenty of profit from its OSX machines, and needs to diversify more, not less. It also needs powerful machines for development, design and other tasks. Apple's culture would never accept switching to Windows, and Linux is still lacking in too many respects. What Apple should do is improve OSX (high color depth support, better graphics performance, ultra low latency etc.) as well as releasing cutting edge hardware that outperforms anything in the industry. Rackable, higher-end Mac Pros supporting SLI and gobs of memory that could gang together using Thunderbolt would be a good start. Apple should be using its vast market capitalization to lead the industry forward. It has the resources to do many things at once.
