not only that, but it is possible to cut costs and pass those savings to consumers by using generic parts
imagine what it would cost to build a clone Mac with a motherboard in generic ATX form factor, generic ATX case, ATX PSU, socket 370/athlon heatsink and fan, with 7 PCI slots, generic USB peripherals like keyboard and mouse?
but boots OS X, royalties paid to Apple.
apple would still get $ for the OS X sold on it (and moto and ibm for the powerpc sold on it).
i don't think anyone remembers it now, but i do remember there was a company attempting to introduce POWERPC 603 at super fast speeds for the time -- and cloners were willing to buy it but apple closed the cloners.
Some of us don't care for sugar coated cases.
if Palm could split to hardware and OS it's too bad Apple didn't follow suit.
NO ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT HP/COMPAQ IBM and EMACHINES would sell AMD processors.
maybe today first tiers like Dell, IBM, Emachines, etc. would be offering Mac clones
