Article title: Psystar hardware switched to Linux to stop selling RebelEFI software. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

According to foreign media reports, Psystar stopped selling all of its hardware products at the beginning of this month to respect the court's support for Apple's ruling. Psystar also temporarily stopped selling Rebel EFI software this week, and Psystar confirmed to the court the legitimacy of the tool software. Psystar also announced that it will continue to sell hardware using the Linux operating system over the next few years, rather than Mac OS X.

Psystar issued the above statement on its website. Psystar pointed out that the court ruling does not affect quality assurance and the current users do not have to worry about it. As long as the user has valid quality assurance, the hardware quality assurance will continue to be respected. Technical support for existing users' Rebel EFI software will be provided through email or built-in tag interfaces.

Psystar said they did not agree with the court's decision. They have never tolerated software piracy. They do not infringe copyright. They said that this is your software and you should be able to use it anywhere you want. If you have purchased a ready-to-use OS X Snow Leopard operating system, it is your right to use that software. Publishers cannot forbid you to read books in the bedroom or listen to music while riding a bicycle. These things are no different from those in the software field, no matter how much money Apple or others have invested in it.

However, Psystar has no plans to admit defeat. If the court agrees that the Rebel EFI software is not included in the ban, Psystar will continue to sell the Rebel EFI software and extend the technical support of the software to some specific computers, such as Dell 9 Mini and HP Mini.
