- Can Apple mention the original IBM PC/Compaq cloning incident?
-
Whoops, I mean Psystar. Apple would be hanging a noose around its own neck if they brought up that ye olde lawsuit into court...
Never mind "Apple hardware" is off-the-shelf PC hardware too, even their OS is based in part by OPEN SOURCE. People who volunteered to make software free for all.
Worst of all, there's a tangent involved because it's the same hardware. Why should I ditch my $1000 DIY computer to spend $3000 or more for a comparably built unit with Apple's logo plastered all over it? That's a gross waste of resources that would end up in some landfill. Apple's actions are, in effect, environmentally unfriendly too.
But that original lawsuit being a precedent, Apple hasn't got a chance, a prayer, and arguably a clue either. - Posted by: HypnoToad Posted on: 08/26/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
