Lawsuit Between Apple and Psystar Moves Toward Settlement
An anonymous reader writes "Psystar and Apple have agreed to alternative dispute resolution to keep the public eye away from their disagreements, and to reduce legal costs. This will eliminate any rulings that would set a precedent over Psystar's claim that Apple is violating anti-trust laws by tying Mac OS X to only their hardware and thus creating a monopoly. This could result in a profit for Psystar's business, but eliminate their line of open-computing Mac-compatible PCs. On the other hand, what's to stop a similar company from doing the same thing?"
To prove my point, I get modded down as flamebait. This is halarious.
You need to be marked troll. Nobody asked Apple to write anything for any architecture. They just asked to be able to install the OS they purchased anywhere they can get it to work.
Welcome to strawman world, everyone.

No, the relevant part is the whole sentence. Pystar could definitely make the argument that owners have the right to install the software on any machine that they like without regards to who built and sold the machine.
He certainly means any architecture, but the right for a customer to install is not the same as an obligation for the software manufacturer to supply. The poster means that he has the right to run his legal copy of the PS2 version of Soul Calibur II on his Wii if he can figure out how to do it.
Oh. The reading comprehension level is probably closer to seventh grade.
