What's not mentioned is whether Mac OS X is going to be BIOS locked to Apple BIOSes or whether me or you can just buy OS X off the shelf and install it ourselves.
I did think about this earlier, I wouldn't be surprised to see a version for Apple branded x86 hardware which is bundled with the machine and 100 quid for an upgrade, but 300 quid to buy and 150 quid (or more) upgrades for a version that runs on any x86 box.
