Anyone who hangs around on websites with information about installing Mac OS X on non-Apple labelled computers has probably already encountered this report, but it's newsworthy anyway. The upcoming release of Mac OS X 10.6.2 will remove support for the Intel Atom line of processors from Mac OS X.

You can give your copy of OS X to someone else if you uninstall it from the Mac it was on and you pass the DVD along. You can't do that with Windows in the OEM variant, not legally.
And Windows is limited to x86, just like OS X is limited to certain processors.
And let's figure in the fact that Windows comes with copy protection (all that Genuine Advantage and activation and Microsoft keeping an eye on you), whereas OS X does not.
How is Windows more free to use?
