If Apple Computer ever decides to let its Mac OS X operating system outside of its confines, the company may see Dell founder and chairman Michael Dell as a customer.
With the recent news that Apple plans to become a fellow Intel customer for x86 processors, Dell has expressed interest in selling Mac OS X-based PCs, Dell said in an e-mail to Fortune published on the magazine's Web site today.
"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," Dell wrote in the e-mail. A Dell spokesperson confirmed Thursday that the e-mail exchange took place.
