Apple wants a summary judgement because they have the law behind them. The system is pretty much set up to protect people who own the rights to something.
If Psystar were to win, that would mean any operating system, including those inside of consoles like the Xbox or Wii or Playstation or even an OS inside a freaking camera, would be available for anyone to install on a competing product. No judge is going to let such insanity happen.
No company who bother to develop anything if they were forced to hand it over to a competitor.
Even if a judge ruled in favor of Psystar, it would likely get reversed on appeal.

Only if the company sells the OS as a separate product. Which neither MS, Nintendo, Sony, or any camera manufacturer does.

There is no indication in the court documents I've seen that there be a stipulation that the OS be sold separately. So no, if Psystar were to win, that would be exactly what would happen.

... come on, it's not THAT complicated to hackintosh these days! there was a time when obscure hardware combinations were a crapshoot, but there's literally lists of setups one can buy that are pretty straightforward in hackintoshing.
personally, i dont find the Mac OS as appealing as it once was compared to Windows. it used to be cut and dry, windows was a pain and mac seemed to work without any fuss. that's no longer true. and i dont think i'll ever get over the single button mouse. too many years of working on windows machines has atrophied the mac skills i grew up with. i can no longer fix a mac when something is misconfigured. they've changed so much and well, i go on, so i'll leave it at that.
