The tinfoil hat on top of my head tells me Maverick was built to be free from monetary cost but with the price (and intent) of cutting down on the hackintosh crowd.
Anyone know the difficulty there in getting it running?
Tinfoil reasoning:
Workstations in general are on the downslope.
Mobile workstations, notebooks, on the uprise.But Apples mb/mbp's are successively getting harder to upgrade.
The possibility of aftermarket RAM upgrades are going away,
so are drives.With a "free" OS, that can't run (nor be coixed into running (i.e. hackintosh)) on PC notebooks, you've only one option: mbs.
...And since those are made harder to upgrade with aftermarket parts, you would be forced to pick a new one in intervals. A forced subscription in a sense.
Not just mbps/notebooks if Maverick was made to tackle hackintosh stations, of course, regular "traditional" workstations too. But it seem like a calculated move. And if not now, then probably later with next iteration of OSX.
