The legal battle between Macintosh clone maker PsyStar and Apple is still being waged, but it appears that the two companies are going to do what some of us had already predicted: settle the whole thing out of court.

Not exactly true. Most cars today are built using standard, mass produced components. You see it all the way from dash boards to engine parts.
The same goes for computers too. Look at IBM POWER systems. Yes, the CPU is of a different architecture but the heat dissipation systems can be found in any x86 server IBM produces, as they are outsourced to the same company. POWER systems also use standards like PCI/PCIX slots, Emulex fibre channel cards that run in both X and P series servers, SCSI/SATA/FC HDs, the list goes on.
I agree wholeheartedly with Thom's analysis in this matter. It ain't as simple as "price versus choice".
