I have never been all that familiar with the early days of Apple, so hearing about the NeXT solution and the various "boxes" proved to be an enlightening read. As for replacing Windows...isn't that what OS X is? Cannibalism isn't the best vehicle for expanding market share. But you are right when you say, "It’s a trivial thing for Apple, once capable of running all software from within the Mac OS interface, to offer Mac OS as a replacement for Windows." Either way, I suppose this isn't quite the death knell for Parallels...but, I do think that the company will have a very limited second-life if Apple integrates virtualization.
