If Lexmark can put chips in ink cartridges to prevent companies from 
manufacturing cheap clones, then I suspect that Steve can keep Apple 
hardware proprietary.

It is already possible to run OS-X on PCs via emulation, just as I 
run Windows on my Macs via emulation.

Apple has the advantage of controlling both the software and hardware 
experience for users. Macs offer a variety of hardware features that 
are NOT standard on PCs, and they design the logic chips that glue 
all of the industry standard components together. It will not be 
difficult for Apple to build machines with Intel Inside that will be 
differentiated.

What WOULD BE difficult is to bring all PCs up to the level of 
hardware consistency offered by Apple.
