Law and Order Remember the motions for a summary judgement filed by Apple and Psystar earlier this week? Large parts of them were censored per Apple's request. These censored parts detailed the protection measures Apple put in place in Leopard to prevent it from being installed on non-Apple labelled computers. Psystar filed a motion a few days ago asking the judge to uncensor the information.

Second case scenario: Apple are forced to allow any 3rd party to install any version of OS X they produce on any hardware. This would effectively terminate their business model, meaning Apple would dissapear.


Let's leave aside the argument that if a companies business plan is not sustainable then they should go out of business, you're making the classic mistake believing that Apple can only ever have the one business plan which it can never deviate from. That's clearly rubbish. Perhaps it's simply time for Apple to change their business plan and license OS X to OEMs? That model certainly didn't do Microsoft any harm.
