yes but..
..why would someone spend so much on hardware loaded with one OS only to switch it to another?
If the original intention was to get Windows on the machine, why wouldn't someone just buy a machine from another vendor with Windows already on it?
There simply is no advantage to buying a Mac and loading it with Windows. You save neither on price nor facility.
Apple would be stupid to even bother wasting their time trying to thwart these cute little "hacker" attempts..
