Have you ever used OpenStep or Rhapsody on Intel hardware? The headaches... Apple (and NeXT before that) never got around to have wide enough driver support. Sure, Darwin is open source, and you might get drivers for this and that. But even some basic stuff was missing.
Now, we _do_ know that Mac OS X was missing many hardware drivers initially, right? Do we really want to go through this on X86?
