There are also a handful of companies out there that are selling
prebuilt generic PCs with Leopard preinstalled onto them (ie Prystar).
In terms of fighting it with your software it might be best to let
Apple worry about it, but you can most likely pull the system profiler
information and compare it against known Apple branded information to
see if the machine fits into a valid model.

Someone hacks the OS X kernel to bypass Apple's checks for a
legitimate
Macintosh and usually posts it to some p2p site where people
steal(copyright infringe) it and run it on their home build PCs.

Does anybody have a means or a tool for checking for hackintoshes?
I really don't approve of such things and would like to leave clever
messages on my own software if it is run on a hackintosh.
What's a hackintosh?
