Apple If you thought Psystar was the only company making Macintosh "clones", then you are seriously mistaken. There is also German PearC, and the latest addition to the clone family is a Russian company called RussianMac, who debuted several Mac clones this week.

The DRM is the fact that they only support a handful of configurations. You can't blame Apple for that.

It's only a matter of time until the first non-Apple hardware drivers, aka .kexts, appear. Netbooks are currently moving from Intel GMA950 to Intel GMA500, both of which come with open source drivers. It isn't trivial to craft a .kext from a Linux driver, but it undoubtly can be done.
