>>You've forgotten Emilio and OS licensing to the clonemakers<<

I do remember this. Umax and a few others were allowed to do it. But it was a *tight* leash.

They didn't just open the flood gates to anybody would could screw in a pieces of hardware like MS did.

A guy hanging out in a garage could build a Windoze machine. He couldn't build a Mac machine. (with off the shelf components)

The licensing was never broad enough to make a difference.
