Having said that, I don't think anyone expects the tablet to run the full Mac OS X, do they? #1062hackintosh

Being able to play VLC on the tablet would be MOST welcome. Pretty freakin' please. #1062hackintosh

It seems like this is just another case of "piracy" to some degree, and while we all take liberties on this subject, I am not certain it is a "dick move" by the company who "owns" (ignoring the open source content) the software to protect their product.
I will shut up now. My apologies, again. #1062hackintosh

I can see why Apple might want to stop this kind of thing, but I can see more clearly how it's a dick move for them to go out of their way to do it. #1062hackintosh

That being said, the Windows 7 upgrade pricing goes from $119 to $219. Those are the prices that should be compared against Snow Leopard's upgrade pricing of $29 #1062hackintosh

Seriously, I agree, that's why it's a dick move - while I understand the argument of Apple not wanting to support Hackintoshing, I find their active attempt to squish it less than impressive. (And doomed to failure.) Apple attracts a lot of tech geeks with their shiny shiny things, and tech geeks are always going to futz around with limits once they tire of what they can do with the basic, supplied product.
But that IS Apple, really. "You can do whatever you want with our stuff, darlings!" is not exactly their tagline.

Which is irony when you look back at Woz and Phreaking... #1062hackintosh

If you were to install Windows 7 upgrade without having purchased XP or Vista OEM at the same time you purchased your Mac you would be breaking the law. They may not waterboard you, but lots of corporations get handed million dollar fines for breaking software licensing agreements. #1062hackintosh

Would your comments be any different in light of this? #1062hackintosh

I own a Macbook Pro, a copy of Leopard and a copy of Snow Leopard. Who in the hell are they to try to PREVENT me from doing what I want with my own (LEGAL) software? They don't have to condone, support, or even have an opinion on it, but they certainly don't have to take steps to kill it. It's ridiculous.
And for the record - my Hackintosh woops my MBP's ass. #1062hackintosh

a non-negotiable contract between unequal parties. US courts have both upheld and shot down individual contracts of this sort in differing cases, but have not ruled on EULAs themselves. US courts tend to favor commercial organizations over individuals, though, so your appeal to authority may be right. #1062hackintosh
