No, they'll just ship machines carrying both the Microsoft and their own key. Apple are no fans of linux - just look at all the hoops you have to jump through to get it running on the new retina macbook pro. They've never officially supported it, and there's no reason they would.
In the PC area, Apple are dependant upon OSX to be their identity and differentiator. Without OSX, they are just another maker of high-end PCs - and it'd be very hard to sell Apple PCs if they were interchangeable with the one-third

What we need is boards that are user-rekeyable. That way we can insure that our boards will never run Windows again.

Something tells me that Apple won't ship machines locked to Microsoft. This could be a serious uprise for them in the GNU/Linux market.

That's not Apple's fault. They aren't doing anything unusual. That's the fault of Linux for not keeping up with spec hardware.
