PsyStar introduced its Mac clone to much media attention back in April, causing many discussions about the company's legal status, the validity of the Mac OS X EULA, and even PsyStar's very existence. It soon turned out PsyStar was a real company, and was actually shipping the OpenComputer Mac Clone to its customers, to generally rather favourable reviews - not stellar of course, but acceptable, with the biggest downside being the inability to use the Software Update tool, forcing users to download OS updates straight from PsyStar's servers - to prevent updates from Apple hosing the OpenComputer. We're a few months later now, and a few things have changed.

On the contrary - IMHO, it thoroughly torpedoes the argument that "Macs are less-problematic because Apple controls both the OS and the hardware". I do agree with the premise that Macs are less-problematic in terms of hardware-related problems, but it has nothing to do with Apple controlling the hardware and the software (if for no other reason that Apple actually doesn't have control over the hardware used in Macs - not beyond the choice of which third-party components to use, at least).
