Interesting.

If we get the freedom to run our choice of apps on a given hardware 
system, will we someday get the freedom to run our choice of OSes on the 
hardware we choose?

I trust Andrew Kluthe and I aren't the only people who daydream about 
being able to legally enjoy OS X on hardware not made by Apple.

This is an interesting precedent, possibly the beginning of a deep sea 
change favoring consumer choice....
