As I understand it, these are OSX ready machines sold with a how-to guide for installing Leopard. This doesn’t get around the legal issues. I think it makes them stickier for purchasers of these machines and for Open Tech. The key legal issue in these cases is that Apple’s EULA prohibits just what you suggest and what Open Tech is trying to do. It limits installation of Apple software to Apple machines. It’s sort of the inverse of Microsoft’s legal battle.

Wouldn’t that get around any legal issues?
