Mac Rumors: Steve Jobs to Keynote Apple Expo
Based on recent announcements of a switch to Intel processors followed by the introduction of a two-button mouse Jobs is expected to announce that:
Current Apple OS (OS X) will now be known as OS 2005, since Microsoft no longer needs that nomenclature.
Patches to OS 2005 will change the OS so that the normal user is always logged on as "root" so as to be more like Windows. Along the same lines scripting vulnerabilities will be introduced across the entire product line to pave the way for the upcoming Apple Antivirus offering.
The upcoming OS 2006 will introduce further enhancement to compatibility with Windows and Intel systems: "that troublesome 'DOS' box will be eliminated" and users will have to find a GUI way to do everything or resort to the new Apple Registry editor.
Apple declined to respond to rumors that in 2007 all new Intel Apple computers would come pre-installed with Windows so that they "just sorta work".
