Besides, only idiots are willing to spend thousands of dollars on computer hardware and an operating system. You can build a pretty decent system for $300 and load up Ubuntu for free. Ubuntu is a lot more solid, secure and user friendly than anything else out there now.

It’s just TOO BAD though that Ubuntu doesn’t support full screen 32/64-bit Youtube Flash video or Apple iPods. I’d switch over in a heartbeat!!!!!

Also, other main error was to abandon IBM PowerPC architecture and embracing Intel. They did not learn from the Silicon Graphics disaster. Now: Psystar, tomorrow: whoever.

Dell has/had a similar “feature” to their CD’s where it would not install any software from CD’s supplied by Dell on anything but a Dell.

However, I find it odd that Apple would want to bundle their OS-X to only their hardware, unless they have been trying to create some sort of version of OS-X that can be installed on PC’s themselves and Psystar has beat them to it?

Windows can be installed on Mac’s, though for me I use a virtual machine as I don’t want Windows running native on my very expensive Macbook Pro.

There has to be a reason Apple is fighting this so hard, they must be working on a PC version of OS-X which could spread the desire for Apple products, in hopes of selling more Mac hardware. Once people get the taste of OS-X they might want the full feature with Mac hardware.

Other than that, Psystar isn’t doing much more than VMWare or Parallels in that OS-X can be run on a PC, though not in native format.
