I have to say, this really does seem like a boneheaded idea. Surely it's in their interest to have loads of geeks buying these machines. First it gets the volumes up, which brings the prices down and makes the whole thing viable -- hell, they can even (as they are now) put a substantial markup on it. Second it creates a community of people hacking on it, scratching itches and generally helping out.
