Pystar: “We outta money – hello bankruptcy”. Apple: “Checkmate”

Seems as if the Apple/Pystar drama just took another turn for the worst (if you’re on camp Pystar that is). Seems as if Pystar is having a bit of money problems seeping through their secretive layer and has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, meaning any “secret financial backers” will not be publicly known financial backers. Sadly, if Pystar goes under, one brave force that finally stood up to Apple’s monopolistic ways (yes I own a Mac and yes I like it) is now gone strengthening Apple’s every present “tough guy” image. Still, there is a bit of a bright future. Even though Pystar may be dead, OpeniMac and Russian Mac (translated) are the latest 3rd party Mac OS X machines that are ready to pick up the sales slack if in fact Pystar bits the big hard digital one. Are you for or against more hardware options for Mac OS X software? Do you like the choices that would be available, or do you feel that by keeping the environment nice and closed is what makes Apple products so…Apple (you know, meticulously designed and more or less aesthetically flawless)?
