> It means you don't give Apple money.

Well, sure, but where's the victory in using something you don't like (the situation that peatmoss (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17709084) describes) for free? Sure, it's better than using something you don't like and paying for it, but (1) you're still investing time and effort, if not money, and (2) it seems better still just not to use the thing you don't like.

- You oppose the direction Mac OS is heading but still like the current version, or

- You like Mac OS after modifying it to counter its Iosification but don't want to support a company that makes you jump to those hoops, or

- You actually like Mac OS but oppose Apple's tendency to restrict their user's freedom on principle.

Using a hackintosh just because you don't like Apple would be pointless, of course.
