Apple is vastly different hardware

The only thing different about it (that matters in this case) is that Apple uses EFI instead of BIOS. This is a direction the whole PC industry will eventually go, but Apple did it first, as usual.

Boot Camp upgrades the EFI firmware to include BIOS compatibility.
