Wow, I'd be very surprised if this is the case. Not only would Apple be 
providing MANY developers with a PC with custom ROM's which could be 
hacked, but also you can just imagine the possibility for the new 
systems to be 'leaked' which would/could drive Stevie crazy!

I think I read on their website, they would provide subscribed/paying 
developers some sort of ACCESS to these PC's. I'm thinking it'll cost 
you over $5K to get such access.

Yeah, but it'll be running some sort of morphed code in simulation, 
kinda like what VirtualPC does...very slowly.
