US resident already had the pleasure/disgrace (take your pick) of buying non-Apple computers with Mac OS X pre-installed through PsyStar. European customers were left out in the cold, as PsyStar is a US-based company which undoubtedly makes shipping across the pond rather expensive. Despair no longer, European clone enthusiasts: German PearC is here.

Apple sells boxed versions of Mac OS X, both via their own channels as well as via retail channels that they don't own. These copies are bought by PearC/PsyStar, and re-sold. There's no way for Apple to control who buys what - and there's no obligation for PearC/PsyStar employees to wear big "I'M A CLONE MAKER" sign.
Perhaps apple should just raise the retail (as opposed to OEM/upgrade) price then? Certainly easier than suing anyone...
