The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on Tuesday granted Apple's request for permanent injunction against the Mac clone maker. This bars Psystar from peddling PCs with the Mac OS X operating system preinstalled, from circumventing the technological measures Apple uses to prevent unauthorized copying of Mac OS X, and from assisting others in doing so."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/zt/auto/1260982551.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>The judge gave Psystar until midnight on December 31st, 2009 to comply with the ruling. However it wasn't a complete win or Apple, since the Rebel EFI program was not part of the judgement. It isn't a complete knock out, and the way this is going I don't expect Psystar to just roll over and play dead. I'm sure we will hear more about this, especially as the deadline approaches.
