I like the competition from Apple and Linux. I will never buy an Apple computer but will install OS X on a Wintel box sometime in the future when others smarter than I have ironed out the kinks and done the hacks

Why don't you just buy a mac if you support their products?

So the real question here is if you (and likely many others) will just pirate OS X off of BitTorrent or will you buy it?

Apple views itself as a HARDWARE company first, so I doubt you'll be able to (easily, without a hacked version) install OSX on a non-apple machine...
Besides, the new machines will be comparably priced, why not enjoy the full experience?
A great UI AND beautiful industrial design...

No, you won't. Not possible. But you can install Windows on a Mac: at least, Apple isn't going to block that ability.
