So how is this different from ‘jailbreaking’ an Iphone?

Aren’t we talking about the same basic principles here? Honest question as this seems kinda strange. Dunno, perhaps I’m way off.

The Psystar website allowed comments and reviews for each model. I saw zero complaints. Customers were very happy with their PsyStar computers. A few would say, “I own an Apple computer and my PsyStar computer is faster and better. Plus at a much better price than what Apple charges” The big bullies at Apple sued Psystar in violation of all free market concepts

If Apple Inc was smart they set up their own clone company in China to compete against Apple products at lower prices. Apple could also sue they clone company to keep plausible deniability. Everyone likes competition so this would boost Apple revenue. Intel could put AMD out of business but would then have anti-trust headaches. Apple is going to be the subject of restraint of trade and anti-trust lawsuits. If they had that Chinese clone company to play off of there would be no such problems

Anyways, Windows 7 is superior. This is why Apple devotees always have Windows 7 installed on their Apple computer for when they have real work to do, not just moping around on MySpace and FaceBook

That’s a bit like saying the United States won a “key battle” over Japan in Hiroshima. Psystar is toast.

Quo Computer (http://www.quocomputer.com/), on the other hand, markets its computers as good Hackintoshes, but doesn’t sell or pre-install OS X, and they’re still around. I hope their machines are better designed than their craptacular Web site.

You know we’re going to disagree on everything but PsyStar being a shady operation selling crappy computers. We’ll leave it at that.
