This article is about new aspects of the never-ending story of how Apple is protecting MacOS X for running on different hardware than Apple's. The keyword is virtualization, which allows running unmodified version of Mac OS X as virtualized instance.

I think you missed most of what I said: I said nothing about Mac OS X running on non-Apple hardware, I wrote only of driver porting. I cannot find through Google any mention of drivers being ported from FreeBSD. A driver "port" would equate to a >50% (roughly) rewrite, as shimming the FreeBSD code into the C++ IOKit framework is a large undertaking, and can only seriously be done by either a complete rewrite, or a very large rewrite.
