That sounds sort of like what Windows does soemtimes - Sometimes when I download a new program or new version of a program, Windows will say it "protected" my PC by not allowing it to run, but then I can click Advanced (or something) and tell it to run it anyway.

I remember the Mac Clones - I seem to remember Motorola made some, as well as Power Computing.

More recently, people were making "hackintosh" Macs when they were using Intel processors, but it looks like people won't be able to do that anymore with their newer M processors.
