Its a counter-productive effort. At best, your only motive for doing
it could be a lookee-loo thing just to say mission accomplished.
The whole point to OS X and the only selling point is that the
hardware and software comes from the same vendor, thus there is less
testing to do for the software itself (saving Apple a lot of money,
savings that they do not pass onto the customer with their overpriced
glizty-glam hardware).
