People need choice. If companies are making Mac clones just to run Snow Leopard it means Apple is not answering a need. Am I right? If someone wanted a light weight netbook but they wanted OS X they have NO options! The only thing remotely close to that is the Macbook AIR and that doesn't have firewire and is still much larger than all netbooks out there! People don't want virus' (hence stay away from Windows) and people want easy to use and their software to run on it (hence stay away from Linux - no adobe products). Mac's also do not have a multitouch or drawing tablet computer.

BTW If Linux wants to succeed it needs Adobe products and possibly Office. It's strategy should be to do whatever it can to get Adobe products on it. ALL of them.

A friend mentioned recently that more people are running Hackintosh than all Linux users combined. If that's true which I doubt then I respond, they wouldn't be if Linux ran Adobe products. 100's of millions of people would switch.

Also, if Psystar is as passionate about running OS X as much as they seem to be they should get Apple's blessing however hard that may seem. They may have to pay for OSX license to be preinstalled? Or they could ship a copy of Mac OS X with their computers that the user would then have to install themselves. But it's not preinstalled! So what. Instruct the user to put the disk in and an hour later they OS X on it.
