Just because Apple's first attempt to license the OS was unsuccessful doesn't mean that it can't work now, if it were executed properly. Now that Macintoshes run on normal PC hardware, Apple could just expand the range of supported chipsets/hardware and certify systems from major OEMs to be MacOS compatible. The hackintosh community has already done a great deal of work in supporting regular hardware - if you buy the correct parts and download one of the easy-to-install MacOS distros, there's almost zero tinkering to be done. If the hobbyists can make that much progress, Apple could obviously do a much better job. If they could seriously challenge Windows with a strategy like this, I think it could be far more lucrative than the hardware profits they reap from their 10% marketshare.

Wow, how did this get modded up to 5? The WRT54GL is intended for the hacker-hobbyist, but ships with standard Linksys firmware just link the rest of their routers.

I received my coupon and was prepared to buy a receiver, then I found the antennaweb.org signal tool. It turns out that I, like most people, am not capable of receiving digital TV without a rooftop antenna. Since digital is all-or-nothing reception, you're just left with nothing. I guess I'll be watching absolutely everything on xvid now.

Except, of course, for the Antec EarthWatts. And the TruePower series. Both of which are... made by Seasonic.
