Psystar offers Leopard updates

Mac clone manufacturer Psystar recently unveiled that it would offer Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard updates to users who have the operating system installed on their Open Computer. The firmware spoofing method which Psystar uses to install Leopard breaks the OS’ automatic updates, so the manual updates are currently the only way for those users to stay up-to-date. Psystar currently features 13 updates for software ranging from iLife, iTunes Front Row, and various functionality fixes.

Psystar is under massive public scrutiny for offering a computing solution in spite being in violation of two EULA agreements: one from the company who makes the EFI firmware emulator, and the other from Apple itself.

Several people have ordered (and received!) from them. And they've yet to be closed down by Apple. Where's the 'fake'?
