There's news in the Apple vs. Psystar saga, and even though I know I promised not to report on this for a while, this news is a pretty important development, and we're more than two weeks down the road anyway. As you all know, Psystar filed a second lawsuit concerning specifically Snow Leopard in Florida, and Apple motioned to have the case combined with the Apple vs. Psystar case running in California, claiming there is no difference between the two. Judge Alsup has denied this request.

>I'm sorry, but a software manufacturer should *never* have the legal right to dictate where and how you install the software.

I hate to say it but nobody is screwing the consumer except the consumer. nobody is putting a gun to the heads of the consumers and saying buy my product or die.
Bottom line, it is your choice as the consumer to buy a product or not. If you don't like it, don't buy it. if you can't agree to the legal terms of use, nobody says you have to use it.
There is a reason apple and companies like it do as well as they do, and it is not because they screw the consumer or because they force people to buy their products. It is simply because people like their products better then the alternatives and therefore are willing to spend the money on said product.
Businesses are successful because people like their product. If you were part of the majority on your line of thinking these business would already be out of business and new companies would have taken their place that met the requirements of the majority.
my point is, the vast majority of consumers do not think they are getting screwed or they would take their business elsewhere.

I hate Apple, I hope the bastards lose.
