Default Rumor (actually more like speculation but...) DirectX for mac?

I've been hoping that Microsoft recompile DirectX for mac for a long time, but now that Apple will be using Intel based processors, maybe that dream will come true sooner that I hoped.

Do you think it likely, or even remotely possible that once the new macs come out with intel processors, that microsoft will make directX for mac?

PS(blah){

Why? Because I took a course in game programming, and they tought us this language called Dark Basic. I have Dark Basic PRO, and have made a couple of games, but I'd rather develop stuff for mac (cuz it rulez micro-****s puny pathetic ******ed... you get the picture). But DB is dependant on DirectX, and if it comes out for mac, maybe dark basic will be recompiled for mac too.

IMHO Microsoft will never make Direct X for Macs. Jobbs and Gates just hate eachother

It probably started when Jobbs got mad at Gates for "stealing" the idea for GPU stuff "Think of it that we both have a rich neighbor that you were trying to steal a television from and when you broke in, you found that I stole it before you did." lol. But really, Gates has clothing problems...
