The Hackintosh front gets bigger

By attacking Psystar Apple announced that it is out of the question for them of leave the field free for the Hackitosh phenomenon, and especially for the companies which would like to make mone by this means.
However the war has only started and others continue to arrive at the front.
Thus, EFI-X has started to deliver its products. This is a large USB key that once connected to a PC allow it to install the whole Mac OS X as simply as with a true Apple machine, by putting a DVD in and then following the instructions of Apple.
The first reports show that this product functions, at least on a relatively short list of mother boards. This new face is more pernicious than that opened with Psystar. If dongle EFI-X contains code pertaining to Apple, they will be able to file a suit against the company.
If they exploit a fault in Apple protections, they will have much more difficulty to act by the legal channel and will have to start a battle of filling of these faults just like with the iPhone, which is definitely easier to say than to do. The iPhone is a concrete example.
