Psystar To Sell OpenMac

As part of Apple's discovery process it was revealed that in 2008 Psystar presented a slide presentation in hope of raising $24 million from investors. \"Under its conservative projections, Psystar told investors it would sell 70,000 computers in 2009, 470,000 systems in 2010, and 1.45 million machines in 2011. The firm's aggressive growth model, however, put those numbers at 130,000, 1.87 million, and 12 million during 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively.\"[14]
The end-user license agreement (EULA) for Mac OS X[15] forbids third-party installations of Mac OS X, and Psystar's Mac clone is in violation of that agreement.[16] However, Psystar argues that Apple's prohibition against third-party installations will not hold up in court: \"What if Honda said that, after you buy their car, you could only drive it on the roads they said you could\"[16] Psystar says it will continue to sell the Open system, adding \"We're not breaking any laws.\"[16]
On May 26, 2009, Psystar filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Regardless, the company continued to sell their computers with Apple's Mac OS X installed on them.[26] Apple challenged that Psystar was using Chapter 11 bankruptcy to stall the case, and in June 2009, the court lifted the stay on Apple's lawsuit.[27]
On December 15, 2009, the judge in the California action issued a permanent injunction barring Psystar from manufacturing, distributing, or assisting anyone with any sort of device or technology \"that is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing a technological measure\". The ruling applies to all current and future versions of Mac OS X and Judge Alsup made it clear that \"Psystar will be selling Rebel EFI at its peril, and risks finding itself held in contempt if its new venture falls within the scope of the injunction.\"[36] The ruling also requires Psystar to destroy all of its equipment and material that it used in the circumvention of Apple technologies by December 31.[37]
Psystar first started selling its Mac clones in April 2008 under the name \"OpenMac\" after buying copies of Mac OS X on the market and then installing them on its own brand of computers. Soon after, the company changed the name of its devices to \"Open Computer.\"
On July 3, 2008, Apple sued Psystar Corporation for selling non-Apple hardware preinstalled with OS X on the basis that Psystar violated the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). According to Apple, the copy protection on OS X was illegally bypassed. Despite Psystar's offer of OpenMac computers, most people were skeptical of the legitimacy of the company as they were unable to process credit cards, had a website that was frequently down, and had a physical address that changed three times in two days. It was enough for some people to label Psystar as a phishing or credit card skimming scam.[2] On November 13, 2009, the court ruled in favour of Apple, with Psytar going out of business shortly after.

At the time of 68000-emulator development PowerPC support was difficult to justify not only due to the emulation code itself but also the anticipated wide performance overhead of an emulated PowerPC architecture vs. a real PowerPC based Mac. This would later prove correct with the start of the PearPC project even years later despite the availability of 7th & 8th generation x86 processors employing similar architecture paradigms present in the PowerPC. Many application developers were also creating and releasing both 68000 Classic and PowerPC versions concurrently helping to negate the need for PowerPC emulation. PowerPC Mac users who could technically run either obviously chose the faster PowerPC applications. Soon Apple was no longer selling 68000-based Macs and the existing installed base started to quickly evaporate. Despite the eventual excellent 68000-emulation technology available they proved never to be even a minor threat to real Macs due to their late arrival and immaturity even several years after the release of much more compelling PowerPC based Macs.
PowerPC Mac users, who can run both options technically, selected the fastest PowerPC applications. Soon Apple was no longer selling 68000-based Macs, and the existing installed base began to evaporate quickly. 153554b96e
