Yeah. With all of the spyware and crap so easily corrupting Windows we tend to forget about drivers and stability. I can't tell you the last time I saw a vendor's driver which was "approved for Windows". Most tell you to ignore the compatibility warnings and install anyway.
I realize that Windows Logo testing may be a bunch of hooey, but we all know that programmers can write sloppy code which can undermine the OS.
We'll know soon enough about what runs what as Apple transitions. Even if someone hacks OS X to run on generic hardware the lack of Apple support will always follow it.
Besides, so many Windows users bash the Mac or OS X so why would they bother trying to run it on their generic hardware?
