But lord knows that the hacks are that allow OS X to run on this
hardware and what that does to the OS

Actually it is not just known to lord but is documented extensively (and open source at that)
just an expression but those hacks are apparently doing something that makes these "not a mac" in some way that seems to be causing crashes


Obviously Sam's getting weird crashes that only occur on these
machines so something is different

MacOS X runs, Safari runs, iLife runs, Microsoft Office hobbles (you can't call it runs even on a real Mac)
Office 2004 runs fine in rosetta
Dont have 2008 as I have no real need for it but I'm sure someone will send me something that forces me to upgrade at some point

so the question for me is more: is it specific to apps made with RB?
No idea
Without having one to test on who knows
