Sources indicate that OSx86 10.4.3 - which contains increased hardware restrictions - has now been cracked in the same fashion as 10.4.1. It was initially thought that these restrictions would slow the progress of hackers, but it appears that it has done little to deter those tackling the challenge. It appears that "Maxxuss" has outdone Apple yet again.

Nice try...but....
1. The customer is not always right, but the customer should always be treated in a respectful manner and reasonable steps should be taken to ensure the customer is satisfied.
2. Also, if they have not purchased an Apple product, they are not a customer, only a potential customer.
3. You do not want all possible customers. You want good customers, crappy customers take away resources that could be applied to good customers.
4. By allowing uncontrolled deployment on any HW, it will lower the perceived quality of OS X, because it will be running on unsupported HW, which will be less stable. Apple would then be faced with the prospect of supporting all of that HW to maintain their brand. This would drastically increase development costs for OS X, which would raise the price, etc.
