My point is that Apple has no interest in doing any of that.<p>&gt; If people could reliably and legally install it on any PC they want it could still cut into Windows&#x27; share a lot more than it currently can.<p>But Apple would lose a huge amount of money on hardware sales, which is where they <i>make</i> their money. Apple even tried an approved clones program in the 90s, it was a miserable failure and one of the first things Jobs did on his return was kill it.<p>&gt; It&#x27;s not hard to imagine that before long, enterprising people will release custom &quot;distros&quot; of it<p>Which Apple <i>really</i> wouldn&#x27;t want. One of the selling points of OS X is the lack of variation in both software and hardware.
