Sorry, but you're wrong

I have a "hackintosh" and a macbook. The over 1 year old hackintosh has given me less problems than my 3 month old official apple hardware macbook. I love the macbook and the problems were fixed fairly easily, but my hackintosh performs flawlessly and does not suffer at all due to having no apple hardware. Install the parts in a mac pro case and even the savviest genius bar employee would have trouble telling the difference between the two.

Other than notebooks perhaps, custom built pc's with OS X installed perform just as well as any imac or mac pro. So, the theroy that OSX will only run properly on apple hardware has been disproved countless times.

I do, however, see Apple's side of the story and respect them for it. Control the hardware and software and you can build a better computer. Less driver issues and all things related to countless configurations. However, I do think they should offer OS X for purchase without any hardware/driver support for the do it yourself crowd.
