I remember a magazine article from my youth (1960's) describing how
someone had taken a Fiat 600 and put a Porsche engine in it (I forget if
it was a 912 or 911 engine - either one would be quite radical). Now
THAT's a jailbreak I can appreciate! I guess it resonated with me
because I had a Fiat 600 at the time.

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....
