The major hole in this argument is the notion that "A standard PC could run OS X for the cost of a big download and a little bit of time." For the typical user that's just not even close to the truth. I mean, the typical user can't even begin to fathom bittorrent, let alone opening the proper ports on their firewall. And that's just to get the download working! Now, you gotta figure that your typical corporate IT guy probably knows HOW to do it, but he's not about to deploy a hacked-up, illegal version on any wide scale. Most people want the easy way out. And most people want the legal way out. That some hacked-up, illegal, may-or-may-not work version of OS X hasn't taken the world by storm is hardly evidence that OS X isn't popular, disirable or widely appealing.
