It seems that Psystar is going to lose the case, in some form or another because its hard to deny that they "diluted Apples brand" but if you ask me, this case is going to be even worse for Apple's brand image than having clones.... in fact, isn't a clone a sort of compliment? Having a product that is good enough to want to duplicate... Hmm... didn't IBM lose a case similar to this with the PC and PC clone makers?

I hope Apple totally gets their asses handed to them on a silver platter for this and takes it as a hint that consumers want to be able to buy their operating system and not their lousy hardware.

Case in point, all the users who have high end brands like Alienware or Falcon Northwest but simply want to be able to use OSX. These machines are much better than any Mac!

Considering how many bribe taking government officials are using Apple because they are more expensive and "superior", I doubt Apple would lose this case.

The question remains. Why would anyone want to run Apple's OSX POS????
