No, you aren't locked into any OS. You can remove OS X86 and run another OS if you wish to, you can even dual boot using bootcamp. Even on PPC hardware, there are alternatives like Slackintosh. As for being locked into the hardware itself, that again is untrue. You can upgrade any component of the system, you will just require third party drivers to enable the hardware, because apple doesn't have drivers for them. You can even install new versions of OS X on old hardware with XPostFacto.... so I fail to see what you're saying.
