Source : AppleInsiderThe judgement has been given regarding the complaint by Psystar that accused Apple of violating the anti-monopoly laws by refusing to allow its operating system to be used except on its own machines.
In substance, the judge considered that Apple has not violated this law for several reasons:
- Apple is not alone on the market of the computers and operating systems.
- Mac OS X achieves tasks similar to other operating systems. Since Apple engaged in a strong advertising campaign, this can be regarded as proof that Apple does have competition, otherwise such campaigns whould be just a waste of money.
Psystar has now until December 8 to appeal, or to accept this verdict which they used as defence against the procedure set in motion by Apple for counterfeit with their clones.
