Oh really? Then how come i am able to install tiger on multiple
computers without activation or licence errors?
Not sure to what exactly you're commenting.
Apple chooses to trust its customers, and not employ the draconian
measures that other vendors use. So there is no activation
mechanism in the standard Mac OS or Mac OS X.
Honor system. Get it?
<rant> The way you've worded your post sounds to me like you're
implying that because there is no activation mechanism that you can
do whatever you want with the product. I hope that wasn't your
intent. My impression is that most Mac users are honest, etc.
I also think that since Apple still is a minority player in the the
PC world, the more exposure the better for the platform. After all,
microsquish users who are exposed to OSX, (providing that they have
a couple of brain cells to rub together), quickly discover that
there are far less in the way of hoops to pass through in order to
get work done on our machines.
Ok. That is, perhaps maybe heh, a justification for Apple not
running around suing customers that abuse the OS X license agreement.
But it still doesn't justify piracy from the user's POV.
