Congrats! Your favorite corporation won a lawsuit to keep their precious OS off of “clones”. The world’s has been made safe for soft puppies and democracy.

From the gushing reaction I’ve seen on various sites, you would think Apple just killed OBL.

Swordmaker posted a news report earlier; this is legal analysis from the Groklaw blog detailing the how and why of the ruling. Two different articles, two different approaches, thus two different pings.

No. I posted a Businessweek story about the same topic. This is analysis from a qualified legal site about the same story with the full decision attached.

OS X runs fine on my new 27 inch Quad Core i7 iMac, a machine that is made specifically by Apple to run their OS. Also runs XP Pro 64 bit quite well.
