Earlier this week we reported on the court case between Apple and PsyStar, stating they went into settlement negotiations. Details, however, were sparse. The law firm representing PsyStar has now replied to the matter, and there's good news for those of us who hope to see crazy EULA clauses tested in court.

Making clones and enabling MAC OS X on any PC is a different matter. A big part of Mac OS X quality comes from a small variety of hardware: Apple can update Mac OS X much faster than MS, with much fewer resources, and I have no doubt that not having to support all the crappy hardware out there is a big reason for it. Hey, I own a macbook to run linux on it, because apple hardware, while not extraordinary, is relatively standard and does not change much between revision.
I am pretty sure Linux (the kernel) has more resources than Apple today, and it still does not support as much hardware as windows (in the desktop PC ecosystem, of course). If a clone crashes Mac OS X, who is to blame ? Apple cost for QA would grow significantly.
And also, Apple products are seen as a kind of luxury product: being more expensive and limited than a PC is a feature.
