Other Mobos deliberately lock things down so you can't do that.


Don't hold your breath.


I think Apple exercises more control than I'm happy with, too. But I can see reasons why they do it, rooted in service and support requirements. And as mentioned, the market Apple aims at isn't generally interested in trying to do that.

I'm not an Apple customer, and the ones they have are happy with what Apple gives them.

You will find no quibble from me on any of those points .... it's talaivan who seems to think that there are no limits to what can be done with or to Apple products.

The death grip of control (for whatever the valid reasons) just leaves me a little cold towards their products ... however "pretty," "sexy," or "cool."
