And if your running Snow Leopard or Lion already you really don't need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
Just because its new doesn't mean you have to run right out and get it.
The only reason I went to Lion was to help test xMove, UniBeast and Multibeast so we had stable items to release to the masses. If I didn't help test stuff out I'd still be on Snow Leopard lol

Why are so many people complaining about their old Macs being shut out?
You're on a Hackintosh forum. You're talking about getting Mac OS X running on unsupported hardware.
READ THAT LAST SENTENCE AGAIN.
Seriously, if you learned anything from installing OS X on your hackintosh, it's that OS X isn't very hard to trick into running. All you really need to do is trick the installer, then force it to booting a 32-bit kernel. :3
You're the reason Macs sell, and you're the kind of person who doesn't need to work with Hackintoshes. For one, you don't need to be up to date ALL of the time. I'm loving 10.6 and the only reason I'm going to use Lion in the future is because I want a modern PowerMac running current software.
Second, you must not love fiddling with this stuff. If you don't love editing kexts and forcing kernel options, you've come to the wrong place. Go use Ubuntu, because OS X has taken Linux's place as the "hard to get running OS" and now the "OS for the nerd".
So yeah, you should buy a Mac is you don't genuinely love working on your system, tweaking it and modifying it when it needs it.

I'm gonna buy a new mac AND build hackintoshes so let's just crown me king of the friggin' world already...
(This has been a test of the National Sarcasm Alert System.)
Didn't mean to be argumentative. Just waxing philosophical, in "rose is a rose" sort of way.
Anyway, I think Apple is moving to one OS name for all its hardware. It will be the successor to both OS X and iOS. (Note that a single OS name does not necessarily mean identical code.)
Apple wants to stop making Mac Pros. I think they intend that their customers use Thunderbolt to put together hardware of equal capacity. So far, we haven't seen many interesting Thunderbolt goodies on the market, tho. So, we will see another Mac Pro release. But, only one.
Sooner or later, Apple will make it impossible or very difficult for Hackintoshes to exist. I suspect the App Store will be make definitive checks to determine if the machine trying to talk to it is on record as being sold by Apple. (Does this happen now with iOS?) Apps purchased at the App Store will make the same checks before they'll run. If not, bye bye. This will be packaged as an effort to improve security.
ROTFLMAO!!
