Don’t count those “garden variety hackers” out so quickly. Over the years, I have seen them do some pretty amazing things, and honestly, the ARM is plenty powerful enough to run the Mac OS X. If someone out there wants to do it badly enough, and I think there will be a fairly large core of hackers who do want to do so, then look for some pooling of talent and time to get it done.
How on earth would someone load Mac OS X onto an iPad? Mac OS X runs on Intel and PowerPC platforms. The iPad is an ARM based platform. Not that Apple won’t someday port the full Mac OS X to ARM vs just some select pieces (i.e. iPhone OS), but that’s not something your garden variety hacker would try to tackle.
