They're kind of hurting their own product adoption here: Apple TV doesn't support the use of "gated" wifi connections (and that's on top of ensuring fewer people use Macs for pentesting/security stuff).

If I couldn't spoof my mac address, I couldn't use Apple TV when traveling -- you have to set your computer's MAC to the Apple TV mac, connect to wifi, log in, switch back, then turn on the Apple TV. And for most hotels/gated wifi hotspots, you have to do this every. single. day. Luckily I use Ubuntu as my primary, but still...
