PsyStar Claims Apple's Mac OS X Copyright Is Invalid

Legal The legal back-and-forth between PsyStar and Apple is slowly but surely moving into the twilight zone. Not too long ago we had Apple going all black helicopter on PsyStar claiming people and/or companies other than PsyStar are involved in the clone maker's unlawful practices, even though Apple could so far not name any of them because, well, they don't know who they are yet. If that wasn't enough, PsyStar now claims that Apple's copyright on Mac OS X is invalid.

My desktop is from 2002/2003 (P42.8Ghz-HT, 2GB, GeForce 6200 128MB) and Vista flies, without any tweaking, full Aero, all bells and whistles.

My laptop, an Aspire One netbook, has 1.5GB RAM, Atom 1.6Ghz, integrated Intel video, and Vista flies, without any tweaking, full Aero, all bells and whistles.

I don't know what everyone else is doing wrong, or what I did right.

You bought a MB capable of accepting 2GB of RAM and maxed it out, carefully selecting DIMMs that would allow you to achieve the full, and impressive, 2GB on that MB in 2002/2003. Don't be so humble. Stand up and take the credit.

I maxed out the RAM only a few months go. Before that, it had 512MB and ran Windows 2000.

"I don't know what everyone else is doing wrong, or what I did right."

Exactly what I keep wondering. I have friends and family that currently swear by Vista, and have had no issues. Granted my desktop system is pentium D 840 EE, 4GB RAM, and a 256 MB GeForce 6800 GT. I will grant this machine was top of the line when I bought it, but then as I said, I buy my machines to last 3-4 years, so take advances in technology/software into consideration so it lasts.
