This one has been answered, by Phil Schiller: they "will not allow  
running Mac OS X on anything other than an Apple Mac". <http://

It's not clear just how much effort they intend to put into  
preventing it. Personally, I hate seeing smart people put active work  
into making their products less useful to the end-user (DRM, anyone?).
