Psystar then <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9113899" target="_blank">countersued</a>, 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. </p><p><em></em></p>
