Apple hardware seems to have sacrificed much health to look like a model. Some long-time MacOSX users appears to be running it on PCs, although I don't know the legal status of doing so. It would not appear difficult, since Apple installed a file to prevent it; and it's not permitting MacOSX applications in version 10.5 to be written in Java.
