Psystar and Open Mac

OpenSourceCommunity: As I look at the Psystar Web site, built using Joomla! and VirtueMart, both free, as in liberty solutions, I can't help but wonder if we might be seeing these little extra pushes right now.
Psystar offers a product called "Open Mac." Well, today Psystar wisely renamed the product Open Computer.
Sounds dodgy to me
Be careful, they might be a fraud company, see this post on Gizmodo
Buyers Beware
I agree, this company isn't very well known (and some question whether it exists at all). But I do like the concept of freeing the OS X from Apple only hardware (I know other will disagree with me out there).
To be honest, what I really want to see is someone like Adobe to write programs not just for the Windows and Mac, but also the Linux system. Now that would make me happy.

Anyway, the system is supposed be to based off Hackintosh, i think. If you are a PC user and is feeling quite adventurous then you can try and install this yourself:

I've not tried it so do not know if it works but there are some screenshots to prove that it is possible.
I agree, Adobe should release their software on Linux. However, is there really a market for it?
