    You can download Windows for free too. But in both case you won’t have any support unless you are running it on the authorized hardware. Windows does it though a licence, Apple through the hardware kirks.

    Go on, try installing your “free” OS on a Thinkpad, and tell me if you manage to get it running.

        Actually, the macOS software license specifically mentions to install macOS only on hardware built by Apple itself. The line is not imaginary lol
