Even though I’m not that sure how many people will be buying, after the news that Apple is suing, Psystar still think that they’ll be selling in the future - with their website open for business as usual.

To add weight to Psystar’s cause, their founder, Rudy Pedraza says, “What if Honda said that, after you buy their car, you could only drive it on the roads they said you could?” - Apple don’t say you can only use the Mac to surf apple.com by the same analogy. Or only use Apple software. That’s just missing the point. Anyway, if Honda said you couldn’t drive their cars on anything but their roads, you just wouldn’t buy a Honda - it doesn’t give you the right to buy the engines from a dodgy supplier and put them in Nissans, because they are cheaper and then drive them on Honda’s roads.. I know, it’s a bad analogy!

It’s a nice idea, and to be honest I think there shouldn’t be restrictions on what piece of hardware you can install an OS on, if you’ve paid for that OS. And I still think that this is a good thing for Apple, and advertising the OS. However, if those are Apple’s rules, and they’re the ones selling the OS, that’s how it is. If I had a product I was selling and built into the restrictions that it could only be sold to people who have moustaches, that’s my failing and I will ultimately loose out if it’s a bad idea. But it’s still my choice nonetheless. Not for somebody to interpret. Just as it is Apple’s choice to only allow OSX to be installed on Apple hardware.
