Hardware, Embedded Systems Now this is interesting news that hit my inbox at 2:22 AM (don't ask). It seems like the concept of selling Mac clones is more lucrative than many have anticipated, as I've just been informed via email that the German PearC has expanded its business into the BeNeLux (Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxembourg) and France. Together with the news that Psystar emerged from chapter 11, it looks like the market for Mac clones is more lucrative than many of us had imagined.

Nobody prohibits you to sell your copy of OSX anywhere in the world.
What is illegal though is assembling a PC and sell it with OSX pre-installed.


Actually, that too is legal here.

Would that be possible, DELL and HP would have jumped on the OSX bandwagon ages ago!!

Actually, If I am not wrong, DELL asked Apple for licensing OSX some time ago - Apple refused - end of story.


Of course Apple can refuse to sell to them, that's a whole different thing. And DELL and HP are global manufacturers, they'd get loads of people whining to them if they started selling computer with OSX in Finland but nowhere else. It also wouldn't make sense from business standpoint: they'd have to make a separate support department for only those computers with OSX preloaded.
