I see more and more software having their Mac versions and Windows versions being in placed in the same box. This is a good thing! Now I wish more and more stores would do something like a store I saw back in Belgium which went as far as having a special section for software packaged in such a way. Now if Quake III is packaged in such a way that the Windows, Linux and Mac versions are all in the same box then it would be nice if we could find it in a section labelled Linux, Windows, & Mac games so that when I walk in the store I don't appear to be just other sheep using MS Windows 95.
This ruling goes to show that once again when you put a smart attack lawyer, a poor defence lawyer and a technology illiterate judge you are always going to have a result that is stupid.
I just hope that someone manages to over-turn this ruling!
Apple may not use CHRP but they do use something else that is considered a standard. This something else is known as OpenFirmware - there is a webpage located at:
http://www.OpenFirmware.org/
This being the case, there is nothing stopping other motherboard makers from using this technology.
