I just read the OS10.4 install license agreement. Unlike
for 10.3 it has wording saying it's ok for Apple to
collect info from your computer, apparently on an
on-going basis, for them to use pretty much as they like.
Apparently like even what brand of printer you use,
what all applications you have installed, etc.

Probably because the new BIOS and the chip itself are part of the
'trusted computing' platform. See

Best hang on to your old macs as long as you can, and enjoy the luxury
of owning your computer while it lasts.
