Not sure why everyone is worried about keeping the hardware proprietary and preventing running MacOS on commodity hardware. Hardware clones are not stopped by proprietary chips in the hardware -but by copyright law, no company can sell hardware with MacOSX bundled without a valid license from apple. Some hackers installing OSX on generic hardware - that's a tiny percentage of the market, and most hackers who want MacOS, they do this because everything just works and the cool/quality hardware. Apple does have the choice to license MacOS to a select few ( HP ? ) if they can't have enough volume or if they want to take more market from MSFT or to have a better entry in enterprise desktop ( multiple sources, etc ).
