They r even planning to fight with Apple in courts because they claim Apple is a monopoly and puts above 80% profit or something on their machines.

Here r the articles:

I don’t think they can win the case against Apple but it will be a huge publicity for the osx86 project and this had to happen some time right?

What do u think?

    well as i knew some of the computer pro’s figured

    out how to install mac on a normal pc about a year or two

    ago … im really not interested in installing mac

    on a regular pc anyway …

    ========

    but the second news is amazing … its a really good idea

    i guess … but apple is not something that belongs

    to those people who are trying to fight against it …

    so i dont think they will win sadly … u dont have

    to be afraid to fight taking the side of the truth …

    I’d buy but their online store is down right now. Do you think It will come back up or its suffering from “injunctivitus”?

    I think that not only will they go down, but they’ll force Apple to drag down the OSX 86 project with them. It’s a blatant violation of the DMCA and they’ll be lucky if they get off with bankruptcy and don’t end up doing prison time. Apple may have been willing to look the other way when it was a bunch of enthusiasts hacking at their code, but when it’s used to make a profit they’ll pull out the big guns and the OSX86 project will be collateral damage.
