Apple is a very known brand and because their product are popular, some company want to copy them, I remember in 2008 when Apple filed a lawsuit against PsyStar because it was selling PC with Mac OS installed on it, In that time, the company received a lot of media coverage and many people were sympatric to their cause even thought they were breaking Mac OS term of use. |
Recently, PsyStar appeared again on the news, this time we learnt that they only sold 768 Mac clone in a year. Since we know that Apple sold over 10 million Mac this year, why a company selling an identical product would only sold 768 unit of their product.
People Want an Apple, not a clone
The answer is simple, Psystar thought that people wanted computer with Mac OS X installed on it, it seems the data pulled by Matthew Lynde (Cornerstone Research) from Psystar account proved otherwise.
They wanted an Apple, not a Apple clone. 400 $ for a name, for an image and for this I must congratulate Apple’s marketing department for doing such a great job
