Should Apple sell Keynote to Windows users?

Running on Intel? Probably, yes.

Given the history of Next, I have little doubt that there's a team that maintains a port of the OS X API set for Windows. This would have to be true if the rumors of Mac OS X on Intel harware are true.

In fact, Apple considered doing this early on after the Next acquisition.

Watch out... before we see Mac OS X on Intel, we might see Apple apps (iLife, Mail.app, Keynote, Quicktime, etc.) running inside a very thin compatibility environment on top of Winodows.

Then, from the income earned, watch for Apple to give away cross-platform development tools that allow folks to build applications for both the Mac and Windows (that run slightly better on the Mac). It could happen in our life time.

I just bought Keynote, and in 10 minutes had it installed and had the first 4 slides done with build effects, transitions and a really cool theme.

I also have powerpoint on both the PC and the mac, and this is by far much much much much better!!!!

Wow, I'm still reading the manual, but in just a few minutes I can tell you I'm impressed.
