The week isn't even over yet, and we already have another instalment in the Apple-Psystar soap opera. Psystar has filed a new lawsuit in the Florida Southern District Court in Miami, asking for an injunction and damages because of Apple's "anticompetitive attempts to tie Mac OS X Snow Leopard to its Macintosh line of computers".

If Psystar want do so something of less questionable legality, they could probably try making something OS X compatible. Take Darwin, or an up to date BSD or Linux kernel and create their own userland tools compatible with OS X software - I'm not saying that would be easy, far from it in fact, but if it's not actually OS X, Apple can't really do anything about it can they? Now, I don't like that OS X is tied to Apple hardware, but that's what the license agreement says; until it's determined if that clause is legal or not, we should respect it. I certainly would pay for an original OS compatible with OS X though. I'd actually be interested to see what innovations they could make that would make someone choose their implementation over the official OS X based on software quality alone (price not withstanding).
