the point is I can have this superior experience on any machine without supporting the apple & the worm.

No, you can't. At least not legally. Also, part of the Apple experience is that their software works flawlessly with their hardware. Those "driver problems" you had came from the fact that Apple didn't design their OS to run your commodity PC hardware.

oh, i'm going to try and install ubuntu on Timmy's macbook and see how it goes. i hope it works.

You're going to have to do some work. Apple's Intel machines use the BIOS replacement called EFI. Here's a couple of tutorials:

Yep, you have reason to worry. On the positive side, Dapper (6.06) seemed to boot just fine on the Macbook Pro. You could probably install that and update it to Feisty.
