You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

It will be very interesting to see how this one plays out. If Psystar
wins, it will open the doors for MANY Mac clone companies to start
selling their goods. If they lose, which is probably what will happen,
it will possibly close the doors forever on me and my fellow Mac OS X
devotees of being able to freely and legally install the operating
system on the hardware of our choice WITH Apple's blessing and more
importantly Apple's help in terms of drivers and support.



I truly do understand Jobs and company's insistence on quality control
and keeping everything in house. One look at the range of crap to
crystal in the IBM PC world will tell you that you may not want the
same fate for your beautiful OS. That said, I can buy a $200 computer
WITH Windows installed on it. I'll drop the argument to allow Mac OS X
to the masses when Apple can deliver anything remotely close to that
price point.



Ciao.
