| I'd be surprised if they haven't done so already. |

| I'm not sure that these computers come with OSX installed. So, unless there's some hardware copyright, it won't be the computer manufacturer breaking the EULA. So there will be nothing for Apple to contest. On the other hand, will Apple track down an sue every person who buys a retail copy of OSX and installs it on that machine? |

| The company sells computers both with and without MacOS X. If it preinstalls the software, then the company is in violation of Apple's EULA. Even if it does not sell computers with preinstalled MacOS X, then it is inducing its customers to violate Apple's EULA. No matter how you slice it, these people are bad news. |

| This'll blow over without so much as a lawsuit, even if it isn't a hoax. They're simply selling PCs that are "close" to a real Mac's hardware. Like nixgeek's said, it's not a very simple task to install OS X on a PC and keep it up to date, not an enduser task, anyway. Installing OS X on "the any-PC" has been possible since before the first release of the original intel iMac and the original intel MacBook Pro with hacked versions of the intel developer kit. This is no different. However: It's basically bad for everyone: 1.) Apple's image is not helped by this "news". 2.) The quite original and helpful OSX86 scene gets too much unwanted attention. 3.) Psystar will probably be bankrupt before long (if it ain't a complete hoax).

| Guys, the company is located in Miami and has already relocated. Quote:
Miami is full of curruption, including law enforcement officers themselves. What? They don't take Visa? Quote:
Psystar should be moribund in a few days or even hours. Let us not worry so much about them. I already sent them an e-mail to their "Contact us" link and, of course, it was never replied to. Perhaps they failed to pay their Internet bill. What a bunch of losers! -Alra111

| I wrote the company (it's like my third e-mail gone unanswered) and recommended they change their name to Psyche Star. This little clone of theirs will never see the light of day. As I was saying, they're in Miami, and already changed addresses. http://government.zdnet.com/?p=3762 I saw we bet on how many hours/days it will take Psystar to vanish off the face of the planet. I give them 96 hours. What about you all? Quote:
