Apple released Darwin for with the x86 platform, its VERY rough compared
to OSX, but with some commercial effort it could be a full blown
commercial platform port of OSX

Why on earth would Apple do that? Apple's money comes from their Mac sales,

dropping into the commodity PC market? If they make a PC that can triple
boot Mac, Windows and Linux, then it's an easy matter for someone else to do
so, too.
It's not going to happen.

It won't work and you can believe Apple will do its
utmost to ensure that
OS "x86" only runs on Apple-blessed Intel boxes.
I'm sure some clever folk will figure out a way to hoodwink OS X, but that
will be the exception.
After reading slashdot, I agree that Apple will make Intel Mac that
can triple-boot windows, OS/X and linux. Adding the fact that OS/X
will not run on anybody else's PC, the Apple Intel Mac might blow Dell
away.
