Psystar to Countersue Apple for Anticompetitive Practices
Psystar defends its actions and describes Apple's claims as "misinformed and mischaracterized."
Psystar argues that its OpenComputer product is shipped with a fully licensed, unmodified copy of Mac OS X, and that the company has simply "leveraged open source-licensed code including Apple's OS" to enable a PC to run the Mac operating system.
Psystar will reportedly countersue Apple and invoke the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act to prove that Apple's tying of Mac OS X to Apple-labeled hardware as "an anticompetitive restrain of trade". Experts have said that such an argument will be hard to make.

Well I think Pystar has a case. I mean microsoft got sued for making IE only work with windows. Its also not exactly fair that they sell OSX on the shelf but don't let you install it on pcs. No other operating system tells you what hardware you must install it on. Its interesting to say the least.
All Mobile OS's are limited to the manufacturer in question with the exception right now of Android and Windows CE.
RIM's OS can only go on RIM devices, Nokia's Symbian on Nok only phones and so on and so forth.

Then there is Amiga OS 4, which is mired in legal issues, but still struggling to survive.

Yes but those are phones. Its a little different. Those phone companies don't SELL their phone os in the store.

Ok fair enough. Do you want the only way to obtain OSX is via a new Apple computer? That fixes the 'problem'.

Should be a free download. LOL. :D
Edit: anyhow, quite a few of these projects do state for non-commercial use only... Psystar use is commercial.

Then Apple gets it for no longer supporting their old computers. Hopefully this will make Apple at least make a consumer tower
