Wasn't one of the points of the OP that Apple is doing a poor job of supporting the systems they do sell? I honestly don't understand how this issue is any different than the numerous companies whom purchase generic hardware to run linux on, there isn't much support from either end, yet they manage to create some impressive systems from this 'unsupported' hardware/software. How is running OSX on 'unsupported hardware' that much different than running a postgres server on EC2? Would the same company force their devs into using MySQL because RDS exists? If your reliant on computers beyond 'MS Office', and you don't have a dev team to deal with it, your going to lose. Granted there will be those companies who would never 'take this risk' but, frankly, that is an issue of company culture, not one of suppliers. There are a lot of companies out there doing amazing AV work using mac's as front end machines despite the lack of a mac pro update, how are all these folks pulling it off without Apple's hardware support?
