Never understoon why a company would go after a miniscule market segment, populated by groupies who will only buy just about anything with an Apple logo on it. (Flame Suite On)
The amazing thing is that people are somehow surprised that a firm that invests billions in its hardware and software designs and protects them with patents and copyrights - might actually act against a couple of punks from Miami and defend their property rights.
It’s like the reaction seen in the smattering of cases in the foreclosure process when a servicer or a lender is (at least momentarily) unable to produce the original note and the foreclosure suit is (at least temporarily) dismissed. You see all sorts of people tee off on that like free money had just been invented.
The gullibility and naiveté of people never ceases to amaze.
How long until Microsoft uses this as a precedent to prevent Apples from running Windows?
Pystar never had a chance, IMO. There a guy selling computers without an OS that one can install OS X onto without needing any hacks. Quo computers I think the name is. He has the right idea, IMO.
As it stands here, still using the Macbook as a defacto iMac for DAW work and a Toshiba laptop with Linux for everything else.
If there are ever any Linux apps that = the quality of Logic Express...look out Apple cuz as an OS, Linux is pretty much on par now, IMO.
Judge William Alsup struck what may be a death blow for Psystar by granting Apple's motion for summary judgment while denying Psystar's counterclaims. The only real surprise here was the swiftness and thoroughness of Apple's victory. Judge Alsup basically ruled that the OS X End User License Agreement (EULA), which prohibits the installation of the software on non-Apple hardware, is legal and means exactly what it says. It is just the latest in a long string of ruling upholding EULAs, sometimes called shrinkwrap or click-wrap licenses.Dell would have won this court victory, done it a year earlier, and for 40 per cent as much money. /sarc
