Gavin Shearer (who works at Microsoft on Project Planning for Visio) has a cunning theory about Mac OS X and Windows compatibility.

He thinks that OS 10.5 Leopard will run Windows Vista “out of the box” easily, quickly and completely.

As he sees it, this is “the centerpiece of Apple’s strategy for the next 5 years”. It will be Cupertino’s Trojan Horse, leading to a doubling of Apple’s current market share in two years.

In the brave new Leopard world Windows XP will become the “new Classic“, he predicts.
