Word on the web has it that Psystar's EULA (that's right, they have one) is all you need to convince yourself that the Mac cloner is a phony all the way.

Looks like Apple's wrath isn't something the guys at Open Tech are afraid of. While the real Mac maker is wrapping up its suit against Psystar, this company appears to have little to no knowledge of Apple's EULA, which specifically states that OS X Leopard should only run on Apple systems.Open Tech... |
