AFAIK the Mac clones were a much wanted machine because they were more affordable with extra features. I still have a trusty "Power Computing" clone that runs every day, OS9 of coarse. :-) I can see Apple keeping the system close to the vest so that control quality and reliability is the finest available. Every bootleg I've seen is a hobby horse at best at the end of the day Apple walks on water in this town.
