Psystar Wins a Battle, But Not the War
"A federal judge last week ruled that Psystar Corp. can continue its countersuit against Apple Inc., giving the Mac clone maker a rare win in its seven-month-old battle with Apple." 
Just one battle in this drawn out war that started when Psystar started selling their computers with OS X pre-installed, and Apple filed a lawsuit to stop them in July of 2008. Psystar then countersued, stating that Apple was breaking anti-trust laws by trying to block users and others from installing Mac OS X on non-Apple computers. And now, in this ruling, the judge is allowing Psystar to amend their countersuit, and switch it from "breaking" anti-trust laws to just "bending" them. So in all it's glory the lawsuit continues, stay tuned for the next chapter in this long and drawn out saga. I'm sure there is much more to come because I don't think that Psystar wants to settle, especially now that they have a win under their belt.
