Litigation the Ballsy Approach: Psystar and Apple

My subject line's pungency came from reading Ars Technica's Psystar makes small update to Mac clone, Apple fumes
Despite a pending lawsuit with Apple, Mac clone maker Psystar has released an update to its lineup, further showing its commitment to its line of computers running Mac OS X. The Open(3) joins the Rackmount OpenPro, OpenPro, and the Open7 in Psystar's lineup of machines. These are all aimed at budget-conscious users who don't want the hassle of building their own Hackintoshes, but still want to run Apple's operating system.

The introduction of the updated model certainly sends a message to Apple--one that would cause our mouths to be washed out with soap if we repeated. Apple, of course, filed a lawsuit against Psystar last summer for violations of the Mac OS X EULA. So far, the court case hasn't started, though the companies have recently agreed to keep their trade secrets, well, secret.
I can think of one, very important difference between a strategy that win and one that loses regardless of its looniness - it is called success. Successful litigation depends on the facts, the law, and the client's willingness to back the litigation. It looks like Psystar backs its legal team. Let us see if the facts and the law back them up in their willingness.
