You should already be aware of the “war” Apple and Psystar. Apple sued Psystar for selling cheap PCs equipped with Mac OS. Psystar proves to be quite a tough nut to crack. Not only did it higher top notch lawyers but it started its own counteroffensive by suing Mac yesterday.

Psystar says that Apple is breaking the law by enforcing those terms of agreement which Psystar broke evidently when selling OpenComputers. According to Psystar, Apple is violating pro-competition laws which include the Clayton Antitrust Act and the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Psystar’s chief Rudy Pedraza says:

What we want to do is to provide an alternative, an option. It’s not that people don’t want to use Mac OS, many people are open to the idea, but they’re not used to spending an exorbitant amount of money on something that is essentially generic hardware.

Apple isn’t saying anything, but they usually don’t. They are obligated to respond within 30 days to Psystar’s complaint so we’re going to hear more about this conflict.
