Psystar Fights Back for Unauthorized Mac

Unauthorized Apple Clone maker, Psystar struck back at Apple's complaint that the tiny company is violating its OS X end-user license agreement by selling non-Apple hardware with OS X on it.
Psystar filed a counter-suit claiming that Apple's end-user agreement violates monopoly laws, the Clayton Antitrust Act and Sherman Antitrust Act. Psystar claims that Apple is abusing its position by ensuring that customers must purchase Apple hardware in order to run OS X.
We'll keep a close eye on this case, since it could have huge ramifications throughout the technology world.

Doesn't Apple have the RIGHT to have people buy they're hardware to use they're software?
You can't run PlayStation games on a GameCube.
Yes, you can run Windows on a Mac, but only if you buy the new Mac that come with Intel chip processors, which by the way, Mac and Microsoft and Intel had to decide upon to add the option of running Windows on the mac with Intel chipsets.
I say Apple is completely right on this one (isn't it always right?) Apple software should run ONLY on Apple hardware.
I Really Hope Psystar Doesn't Gain ANY Ground

If they do, it's going to mean crappy Mac experiences for the rest of us.
Apple isn't Microsoft, and Psystar should respect that. If they want to get into a licensing deal, then they should look to Microsoft.
