PsyStar - A win is a win for the short term
Adrian,
While I often find myself agreeing with you on most of your posts, I am going to disagree with you on that a win will cause harm to Psystar. You can not buy the marketing they have received from battling a giant nor could they ever afford to. A win here is a win for Psystar for the short term. Long term they may have a problem, but given the legal team they have assembled it would be wise to watch this company.
V/r
Ryan
