About the $20 to upgrade to Mountain Lion, I suspect that doesn't

I'm sure there are many factors involved, but I think one of the
primary reasons Apple doesn't want the OS used on other hardware is to
avoid the mess that Microsoft got themselves into by licensing to any
PC distributor. By retaining control of both software and hardware, it
"just works" -- at least, most of the time.
Funny how Linux distros don't seem to get in "the mess" regardless.
