10.6: Snow Leopard DVD is full OS X install disc
I think that the Apple website is quite explicit about what Apple intends for folks to purchase.
Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, just purchase Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and follow the simple installation instructions. And to accomplish that they sell both a US$29 package with 1 EULA and a US$59 Family Pack with up to 5 EULA. Upgrading from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger. If your Intel-based Mac is running Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, purchase the Mac Box Set, which is a single, affordable package that includes Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard; iLife '09, with the latest versions of iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD; and iWork '09, Apple's productivity suite for home and office including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. And to accomplish that they sell both a US$169 Mac Box Set with 1 EULS and a $US229 Mac Box Set Family Pack with up to 5 EULA. With that pricing structure only a fool and/or a thief would offer the lame excuses/augments posted here by some to appease their own dishonesty. I am disappointed that Mac OS X Hints printed a hint that encourages dishonesty by stealing. Plain and simple just by posting it to the website this is endorsing the idea that folks can get away with it so go ahead and do it . ---

In the past, we've run hints, or had comments to hints, that cover topics such as converting upgrade CDs to full install CDs, ripping movies from DVDs, downloading QuickTime/YouTube/whatever videos from the web, removing the serial number check from Office, sharing iTunes music outside the local network, recording high definition TV signals, copying music from your iPod to your Mac, and many other such topics. On macworld.com, I've written about jailbreaking your iPhone, and building both desktop and netbook style "Hackintoshes."
10.6: Snow Leopard DVD is full OS X install disc
I have used Macs since the first 128 k Mac with the 9" grey scale display. I bought it (maxed out the one credit card my papá gave me to use for emergencies) when I went to the USA to attend graduate seminary at SMU in Dallas, TX. I have bought new Macs as I could and saved to buy the new OS when it came out. It was not always easy to keep up with the information prior to the world changing internet so my memory and history is perhaps wholly, but please Rob, tell me when Apple has not released a full install disk for the Mac OS X? When has the disk ever required an installation of the prior version of Mac OS X before it would make an installation?

Nothing wrong with MacWorld posting this. Rob stated that to do this would violate the SLA. What really surprised me was how people try to convince themselves that they've done nothing wrong. |
