1) OSX is not viable any longer? Really? As evidenced by what? I mean, looking at WWDC talks, there's a ton of improvement year over year. Of course there's always more things that could be done, but remember, the core OS team is very small (especially compared to Microsoft, for example). Not to say that there isn't stagnation in some UI aspects (Finder, I'm looking at you...) but saying that the entire OS is no longer viable is a bit dramatic.

2) I don't see much competition that can even match Apple's build quality. The ones I do see, I am excited about, because that means they are striving to improve, and can challenge Apple and force them to improve more. Much better that, than having Apple rest on their laurels because nobody is even trying to get close.
