I could have just as much fun with this as I used to with my Palm before it became a little obsolete and I got bored being told by palmgear.com that my handheld wouldn't run the apps that sounded the most fun.

Plus they will get OSX under the noses of a wider community of developers, which they are sure to be hoping will have pay-offs for the Mac itself. I think Apple has been extremely shrewd here.
