Full Feed.Mac service for PCs a possibility?
Lately Apple has been pushing their windows products, more specifically Safari, and this has got us thinking what the next move may be. Kevin from jkOnTheRun thinks he may know what Apple has up their sleeves and it makes sense, .Mac for the PC.
In this new age we use multiple machines and multiple operating systems. Apple has made major breakthroughs with file sharing and usability between Macs and PCs, but there is still a gap when it comes to syncing up these machines. A new version of .Mac, possibly a “.Mac lite,” could definitely be in the works from Apple for integrating and syncing between your Mac, PC, and maybe even your iPhone.
On the Windows front there are options including Windows Live SkyDrive, a free service with half the space of .Mac. If Apple could launch this service so current .Mac users get a free upgrade or the features for a small fee, Apple could have a hit. Of course, all of this is speculation - we’re basically writing your business plan Apple, no excuses, get to it!
Check out the full post here as it goes into much more detail.

This will never happen. .Mac on a PC gives the PC user one less reason to switch to Leopard. Apple knows that. The better .Mac becomes (think: back to my mac, web galleries) the less likely you are to see it as a PC-compatible service.

I think its a possibility as an add-on because it would take very little time to implement and would help the market transition over.
Think about it. Buy .Mac lite, sync your contacts, emails, and documents. Go out and purchase a new Mac. Enter your info, and you’re all setup.
