To be fair, you compare these problems with some of the problems early Vista adopters had. Or the problems users faces when the first tried to upgrade to OS X.

That’s very true, but if you’re the one choosing to make the upgrade then there’s obviously a chance that things may not work as you would expect. I would compare this to buying a new Vista machine and having some of the problems mentioned. I think it’s safe to say that most people would send it back, but as you mentioned you are buying a hacked OS.

I’m actually starting to wonder if this could strengthen their monopoly. If Psystar ends up not being able to hold their own then others will assume that it’s not worth their breath trying to fight Apple. It would almost be like giving Apple the right to say that they can have a monopoly, and we’ve proven that there’s nothing you can do about it.

While some of the issues are concerning and confusing (why exactly can’t I re-install?)you got to remember that every system has problems and they are buying a hacked OS.

wait, why can’t you reinstall it?

You need a patched version of Leopard to install it, and they only give you the retail copy. File sharing networks have all kinds of these patched Leopard installations available, but I assume it would be illegal for them to redistribute their own patched DVD.

If you want Leopard it’s actually a $550 starting price. But yes, in my book it’s not even running close to 100% even though others would argue that the flaws are minor.

wait, why can’t you reinstall it?

My guess is because it’s a hacked version of OS X or there might be something else fishy.
