It is legal in Brazil and it should be everywhere (although is not).

 

It is absurd to obligate a consumer to buy products of the same brand/manufactor. If you paid for the OS and if it is posible to run it in another hardware, obviously it should be your right to do it.

 

EULA's are NOT above the law.

How legally binding is it when you hit i agree when a software licence agreement appears during installation? Have there been cases where people were sued explicitly for violating it. In most cases it doesn't even ask you to type your name or date which is quite different from standard contracts.  

 

On the osx software it explicitly  states that you agree to only install this software on an apple certified computer. What qualifies a computer as being apple certified computer? If you have a sticker is it enough? what about a case? They clearly aren't talking about things like ram and graphics cards and mother boards. are they? apple buys most of there hardware from other manufactures so most it has other manufacturers  serail numbers on it. where is the line drawn?
