Wouldn't it be cheaper to go the other way since we already have non-Apple
boxes?
That is to say, run OSX on our machines rather than buy a new machine and
move XP
and Vista over to it.

Seems like it will be a "harder nut to crack" due to the built-in DRM on the
Core Duo chipset that makes OS X tick. After all, Apple makes its money
from hardware, not software. They want to be the go-to computer, not the
provider of software to beige boxes.
I'm not saying it won't be hacked, but I don't think Apple will every try to
be a mass-market PC OS provider. It is too hard to support every
permutation and combination of PCs out there.
I could see them possibly bringing in another OEM to build to their specs (a
la cloning) but not opening their OS to all PCs.
