Seeing as how the OS itself thinks it's running on Apple hardware, I

fail with new genuine hardware.  IMNSHO, you shouldn't try to detect
such things.

Agreed. Any effective solution will come in an update from Apple that prevents OS X itself from running. If Apple can't detect it when they control all the hardware, firmware, kernel and user-land software, and also have some financial incentive to solve it, it seems unlikely that a third-party user-land app is going to be more effective.

Any approach posted publicly in this forum will be defeated before the bits have dried.
