I believe that Apple always kept a tight reign on hardware to ensure their stuff will work. How many times did your Win9x box go down because of some poorly written driver that interacted badly with whatever.vxd? I'd LOVE to run OS on my PC, but I am not willing to pirate it or destroy a stable XP install that finally has been tweaked to run properly.
Remember in the mid-90's when PowerComputing and other companies were allowed by Apple to release Mac clones? Even though they worked well enough, people still wanted hardware designed in Cupertino because it was more aesthetically pleasing. Mac has the looks that PC doesn't and this makes the PC crowd jealous. How else do you explain ricing out your PC like some lowered Honda?
If you want OS X that bad, just go get a Mac Mini.
