Law and Order The week isn't even over yet, and we already have another instalment in the Apple-Psystar soap opera. Psystar has filed a new lawsuit in the Florida Southern District Court in Miami, asking for an injunction and damages because of Apple's "anticompetitive attempts to tie Mac OS X Snow Leopard to its Macintosh line of computers".

This makes them seem petty and childish with their lawsuits against "clone" makers.


Microsoft doesn't sell PC hardware, so they can't dictate which HW you can use. Apple does.
Imagine what Microsoft will do if you create XBALL360 and rip their software.

Microsoft also doesn't offer the Xbox dashboard and firmware as a retail package. Not only that, the Xbox is a one-off game console; there are no generic ones with Windows or Linux or any other OS out there, and you can't go into Fry's or MicroCenter and buy the parts to cobble one together. It's not anywhere near the same market as PCs and it really has nothing to do with the Psystar case.
