True. the activation has never been required for mac osx. I don't ever remembering to enter a license key. so in theory I can take my usb key and install it on a mac with a new hard drive as long as it has apple's specks.
I can't go on line do do that so I have to do it this way, in theory of corse. As for a skip button I don't remember ever seeing that in a mac install and I've done about 8 clean installs this year.
