Some more information regarding PsyStar and its Opencomputer have surfaced, that try to dispel some of the doubts surrounding the company. Last week, the company posted a video online that supposedly showed the inside of the company, as wel as a bunch of OpenComputers running Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows XP. In addition, a Gizmodo reader has sent a video to Gizmodo where he shows off his OpenComputer.

I agree that people should use the hardware they want. I don't agree with EULA's neither.
But buying from a company like PsyStar is not the way to do it; and I object to the comparisons on price being made (as pertains to features).
Apple only offer computers with a minimum of x number of features. Other manufacturers offer computers with less than x features, and therefore lower cost.
If you spec a Dell with exactly equal features to a Mac (x=x). The Mac is the same, if not cheaper price.
But since you cannot spec a Mac exactly equal to a cheaper Dell (with <x features), a comparison cannot be made. The Apple looks "expensive" because you cannot have <x features. However this is a false analysis.
People seem to have a real difficult time grasping this. Some people also don't want to buy flat-pack furniture.
