If you want a working example of what thisll likely be like, take a look at microsofts windows 7. All versions come on one DVD, you choose the edition at install (or even after with anytime upgrade) based on your registration key and the necessary file/registry modifications are then made. This will likely be what we will see from apple, although they probably won't have something like anytime upgrade initially. > > > -- > "I hope someday you know the indescribable joy of having children, and > of paying someone else to raise them." > > > _______________________________________________ > MacOSX-admin mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin > -- Best Regards, John Musbach _______________________________________________ MacOSX-admin mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-admin
