Despite the fact that its site seem overwhelmed yesterday, and despite the fact that Apple is almost certain to sue, Psystar has not only fixed its site - possibly switching from Open Computers to Xserves - it's added a Pro model to its site.The OpenPro Computer starts at $999, can be upgraded to quad-core CPUs, and is available (natch) with Leopard preinstalled. Much as with the Open Computer, Leopard will run you $155. They've also added Windows Vista Home Premium as an option, at $150 for either the 32- or 64-bit version.
Now it sure seems that Psystar is rolling out models faster than you can say "boo," so it makes me wonder. If it was April 1st, I would wonder still more.
Of course, how is Psystar going to fight off the Apple lawyers that are bound to jump down its throat eventually? After all, this still doesn't get around the issue that installing Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware violates the EULA.
So far, published remarks seem to indicate that they are falling back on a monopoly argument, meaning, Mac OS X that can only be installed on a Mac is a monopoly. Personally, I don't think that's going to fly, but who knows? I've already been surprised by the fact that lawyers already descended on Psystar.
