Judge Dismisses Psystar's Anti-Trust Counterclaim Against Apple

[IJ Reilly]

Yup, Psystar is trying to perform a high-wire act without a net. And without a wire.

Well they are doing the act, just blaming Apple preventing them from using the net and the wire.

At least they cannot lose the house, unless they mortgaged it for the lawyers, unless Apple files a criminal complaint.

I almost think they should, just so they can take the house.

Why Not?

Windows systems are cheaper, and are terrible.

Apple systems are better and more expensive.

Do you really not see the correlation? You get what you pay for!

Im not sure if that is true or not.
We have several macs. Our latest is the Intel iMac.
I have always been told all the problems on a PC was only the operating system.
I thought about maybe trying out one of the Psystar computers to give it a go during use on Final Cut Studio.
They all have the same graphics cards and ram from what I can see. They all have the same processors as well. After all I am needing a blu-ray burner for Final Cut Studio and my macs. Apple just wont give us what we want.
Im thinking why not. Its only going to cost me $2580 for everything I want.
Im sitting on the fence for this one.
Big deal that there not as pretty as a real mac. Just think about it. Its all in the operating system. If it would not fly, then why is Apple spending money on court cases?
Hmm!

............MS is releasing windows 7 that will most likely bring those masses back (not a MS fan).............

In my very, very, very humble opinion, saying Windows 7 will bring switchers back to Micro$oft is sorta like saying USB 3.0 will make FireWire obsolete. I myself am a "switcher" and the only way I'd quit the Mac platform is if an angry mob of Apple employees came to my house, took me prisoner, and tortured and killed my family. lol

The reason Apple maintains tight control over its hardware/software is simple. Other users have already pointed out that Apple probably doesn't feel like writing and updating 5,000,000,000,000 drivers for a myriad of different pieces of hardware that would be used if the OS was licensed to everyone and their uncle. Not to mention putting up with the thousands of whiny phone calls from people trying to install Leopard on an incompatible system. They want to make sure everything always works correctly, and writing their OS to run only on their own hardware is definitely the way to do it. The premium they charge for their systems is really to keep out the riffraff.

ATI and NVIDAI can write there own video drivers as well as chipset ones.

Pyster is gonna get what they deserve in court

I personally can't stand Pyster. I think their name speaks a million words for there so called wannabie computer company. Pysters day in court is soon to come and I have that sixth sense that the verdict the judge finally reads out won't be what Pyster is praying for.

My two cents.
