on the other hand, Apple is the choice against Microsoft domination. it needs hardware integration because it can't afford to write drivers for everything in the pc universe. They can't afford to support everyone with zillions of configurations. Also, no OEM will offer any alternative OS. Apple must get its OS on its own hardware because nobody else will.
So I see the integration as more of a necessity for keeping the Mac choice alive but I wouldn't call it a plus.
Linux will need its own "mac" in addition to the freely distributed software in order to get more to switch.
