Maybe it seemed like a good idea at the time, when the Psystar company brought out cloned Macs.
Of course, the inevitable happened, and they were sued by Apple.
Now they’re done, but there may be more to the story: silent partners.
Ain’t no money in Mac cloning: Psystar files for bankruptcy – Ars Technica reports:
“The Mac Observer speculates that Psystar may have had some financial backers who hoped to see the limitations in the Mac OS X EULA ruled invalid. Those financial backers could have pulled out after deciding that Apple is likely to prevail in court. In fact, Apple has long suspected there were others behind Psystar’s rather brash attempt to market generic PCs with Mac OS preinstalled, naming them as Joe Does in the lawsuit. If such parties exist, they will have to be revealed in further bankruptcy filings due June 5.”
If there were financial backers, it will be interesting to see who they are.
