Earlier this month, Psystar suspended all sales of its hardware products, honouring the court's decision which favoured Apple. This week, Psystar has also temporarily halted sales of Rebel EFI while the former clone maker confirms the tool's legality with the court. Psystar also announced it will continue hardware sales in the coming days - with Linux rather than Mac OS X.
It's obviously hard to disagree with this notion, but it's also obvious that Psystar has not done a very good job of fighting for our rights as consumers. On top of that, there is still this pesky but very important issue of where Psystar got the code for Rebel EFI from - the company claims it has been developed in-house, but Netkas and others in the OSx86 community believe the code has been stolen from them. The company is not planning on throwing in the towel, though. If the court agrees that Rebel EFI does not fall under the injunction, Psystar will continue selling it, and expand it to include support for specific computers, such as the Dell 9 Mini and HP Mini.
