Yes. Essentially there's a technical reason why Apple would restrict OS X to only Apple hardware. Microsoft spends (or at least spent, they seemed to have given that up with Vista) lots of money & time ensuring Windows works with weird hardware combinations. Apple saves some money side-stepping the whole issue; if they released OS X for all hardware, they'd get people complaining things along the lines of "OS X sucks! It doesn't work with my e-Machines Craptastic Edition Model". Well the reason it doesn't work is because your e-Machines Craptastic edition sucks, but the customer is going to blame OS X, see?
