Well its ugly box we all agree on that, but I think there is nothing wrong with having OSX on ugly box. Some people don;t care how pc box looks if its sits dark corner. I care that I can save and work on what I like. Of course some of the things will not work just because Apple will try to do something incompatible in future. Thats the monopoly game.

Brilliant strategy. We have thought of doing this often…. just as a test… I would of added some more disclaimers though

it ain’t pretty but it certainly isn’t ugly. it is just a PC, and as far as PCs goes it is not bad. I would love to see someone market a range of barebones (no OS) computers that match the components of a certain computer maker, so hobbyists can buy a copy of a certain OS and install it on a reasonably priced system.

Macworld has tried to contact these people and haven only reached one person who referred them to an email address where no one replies. So this could be a bogus operation. No suppliers seems to know anything about Psystar and they haven’t been active before this computers news. Could be like the medison affair http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medison

I’d like to see this go to court, because Apple will probably lose.

Can one be truly biased at a blog called “The Apple Blog”?

Doesn’t the name suggest bias itself?

@Eric: If disliking an ugly computer and thinking there’s more to a Mac than a pretty box…then I’ll gladly accept “fan-boy” status.

Josh, you’re way too much an Apple fan-boy. I honestly think most people would love an affordable hardware platform on which to install and run Mac OS X. I’m one of them. I’d much rather it was completely on the level, but a ~$600 machine with some decent performance that’s upgradable is great news. Too often your comments are so pro-Apple that I wonder if you don’t work for them directly. Do us a favor and try to be a bit less biased.

Hey what happened to that company years ago that said they definitely had a Mac clone working that was going to market soon?

There’s a significant difference between something being against the terms of a license agreement and something being illegal. Yes, certainly Apple will sue these guys in short order, but there are some jurisdictions (even in the US) where this clause of the EULA could conceivably be held non-binding. Depending on how they distribute the hardware and software combo, and how (and how well) they’ve implemented the EFI emulation, the EULA may not matter at all, anyways, except to the extent that Apple wants to pursue end-users who purchase one of the systems and violate the EULA by installing the OS.

@Tod: Doh. You are quite right. Info updated.

Site is “down” because you don’t have the correct URL: The company is Psystar and their URL is http://www.psystar.com/index

The site is indeed up (as of 16:00 PDT) and it looks too good to be true!
