Strike one for Apple. Curling is a better sport anyway - the first end goes to Apple. The Cupertino company
sued clone maker PsyStar for licensing and trademark violations and copyright infringement, only to be greeted by a
counter lawsuit from PsyStar, who claimed Apple was a monopolist. U.S. District Judge William Alsup
sided with Apple on the counter lawsuit Tuesday. In his 16-page decision Tuesday, Alsup ruled Apple's products don't constitute a market to dominate. As a consequence, Apple then can't be considered a monopolist, Alsup wrote. An Apple spokesman had no comment. A representative for Psystar couldn't be reached for comment. The original lawsuit is still running, so PsyStar can, for now, continue selling its clones.

Yeah, but they do quite a good job at anchoring the world to the Intel architecture.
I'd like to see SPARC and ARM take off. At the current rate I doubt SPARC will go anywhere fast, but with Ubuntu's new commitment toward ARM-powered netbooks/laptops, at least ARM has a chance of rising. Either one, though, I'll believe it when I see it.
