I wouldn't spend much time worrying about this issue. Apple needed to get its developer kit into the hands of devs -- and so what if the lightweight DRM was cracked. I have little doubt that the eventual Mac OS that ships will be much more coupled with the hardware and, like the Xbox, will probably require you to jump through hoops to get another OS to boot on the machine -- or run the OS on a non-Apple machine. For example, requiring you to desolder and solder daughtercards onto the motherboard like mod chips in game consoles, if you want to make modifications. The average user simply isn't going to go to that much trouble, which essentially means that the DRM is good enough for its purpose.
