Apple tried playing around with clones awhile back and I'm sure after they abandoned that, they made sure to close any potential loopholes for future hardware makers. I am all for competition as it drives down costs and raises innovation (usually), however I think one of Apple's keys to success is the fact that they control the hardware and core OS software. When they design/code the OS, they know what each and every user could be running from a hardware standpoint; that's something that Microsoft will never be able to compare to.

I'm not sure if we'll ever find that out, but it's still a lingering question. That’s right. I’m not sure if we’ll ever find that out, but it’s still a lingering question.
