Discussion Q&A - Unauthorized Clones? - 2008/04/20 06:28
Last week, a small company called Psystar announced two "Mac clones" in the US, clearly without Apple's approval. However, with the switch to Intel processors, the re-emergence of "Mac clones" -- generic Intel PCs running a hacked copy of OS X -- is hardly a surprise.
Do you think Apple should take action against clone makers in countries with effective legal systems to protect the brand, profits, and OS? Do you think clones could help grow the Mac market by attracting customers unwilling or unable to buy an Apple branded system? Would you rather stick with the genuine Apple product or would you consider an unauthorized clone to save money even if it meant forgoing operating system support? Would you rather just build your own "Hackintosh"? Why or why not?
