Sorry Joost, but you are wrong. Your experience with your machines may be
convincing to you, however, if you were to use the specific examples I gave
you with the newer machines I mentioned, you would see results that conflict
yours. The 14" iBook vs the 12" iBook is the most obvious example. Install
OS X on say a 700mhz 12" iBook, then clone that install over to a new 14"
iBook and see what happens.

I do this for a living and deal with a mind-boggling array of setups and
configurations on a daily basis. I spend many hours each week creating,
testing and perfecting new universal boot images that will function 100% on
every new Apple hardware config we come across. It works the way you have
experienced 95% of the time - yes, but not 100% of the time.
