Not saying that the "dark side" is all rosy and sunny... Even with "generic" component homebrews (which I am looking at for my new Playstation 2/kids box) are fraught with dances with numerous devils... Will it be AMD or Intel inside? dah dah dah dah. Will I use Quantum or Seagate? What BIOS manufacturer, ad nauseum. I've had bad dealings with all companies. I'm already dealing with untold Asian slave laborers, endlessly redundant no-help lines, etc. and I still haven't even put an OS on it. Even a BSD'd or Linux'd box is not sinless from the type of malfeasence you are applying to Apple.

This is no attempt to downplay the sleaze described in your link, just an attempt to put it into perspective. There is no "sinless" box.

And to play junior's educational games, I'll need to load Windows...

In my best Paul Harvey voice, "and now you know the rest of the story"...

My $.021

Oh, and by the way, only non-married homosexuals (either closeted or not) use PC's with Windows as their primary box.
