Re: Question about Tiger DVD Install Disc???

[Mark Sokolovsky]

Oh wow. You should do what I did to my PM G4 sawtooth. I have a triple-boot
system on there. (Don't install jaguar, I did that for performance since
that was the system's original OS.) Partition your HDD, one for tiger and
one for Leopard. And whenever you need to sync your iPad, just boot into
Leopard!

Leopard isn't that annoying to me at all except for that 3D dock. Other then
that, It's a useful OS. Tiger is an Aging OS and I only put it on computers
if they really can't handle Leopard.

Just received my iPad 3G. You cannot use it with Tiger, even with the latest 
iTunes. So now I really will have to upgrade. Thanks Apple.

I have limited experience with PC notebooks. In particular I don't
know how Microsoft does Windows 7 notebook (re)installs.

The last PC laptop I reinstalled XP on (using the media that came with
it) I don't believe even bothered to ask me to authenticate. At the
very least the install media appeared to just "know" that the install
was to an HP notebook, hence the Windows tax had been paid, so there
was no need to bother about asking for a license key. (The key was
there on the sticker on the laptop if needed. But I'm pretty sure I
never had to enter it).

If the vast majority of Windows installs were all the PC world
equivalent of reinstalling the version of OS X that came with a
MacBook then I doubt MS would bother with the hoops. But Windows folk
still have to dance through those hoops so I infer that MS thinks it's
financially worth it to them to keep polishing them.

I'll grant you that individual home user upgraders, DIY boxes, and/or
small businesses are probably not as big of a concern for MS. But if
you're going down authentication avenue you can't do it in pieces.
Aside from special cases such as notebooks with special install media,
it's all installs or nothing, no?

actual revenue must be, uh, an "exciting thought" for the MS
accountants.

Microsoft appears to me to be obsessed with two conflicting goals: to
limit Windows installs to one machine per paid license and to not
annoy their customers unless said customers are from MS's perspective
trying to steal from MS.

It's got to be a lot of (costly?) work on their end. And I believe
they wouldn't bother with it unless they thought the company
benefited.

Which is not the same thing as saying the company DOES benefit from

Really?

Then how does the MS "Anytime Upgrade" work? Say I wanted to take my
version of Home Premium to the Ultimate of Foolishness. Supposedly I
go online and purchase a license for Ultimate, then enter the new
license key, and "poof" I'm upgraded. You may think they're going to
download all the changes to the OS via the Internet, but that is not
my understanding of how it works.

I have no way to test this personally though since there is no way in
heck I'd ever upgrade my flavor of Win 7.

But you were also indirectly correct in pointing out an error I made.
Actually my retail copy of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade has two
DVDs. One DVD is for the 32-bit flavor and the other is for the
64-bit. My bad.

This is not true. The only thing that is different about the distribution of

Yes, when you authenticate. If you don't authenticate then after some
period (30 days?? for Win 7??) then as you say, it turns into a
pumpkin. And admittedly it'll probably be a damn nuisance to use
before that by nagging you to authenticate.

My understanding is that the same thing is true for Windows 7 DVDs.
You get the same DVD whatever  version you buy. Which software is
installed and enabled from the DVD depends on what serial number you
enter. (What you get before you enter a serial number I have no idea.
Who has the patience to waste time trying to find out?)

Actually, not so much.

I'd wager 90-95% of Microsoft OS sales are directly to OEM's. The  
average user, turning on their Dell for the first time is walked  
through connecting to the internet, and authentication happens then,  
with little or no interaction with the user.

Tangible and intangible, there are a lot of non-trivial costs to
keeping the whole mess up and running. Microsoft must have decided ...
to the extent any company can make a decision about a way of doing
business that has so much history behind it ... that the benefit is
worth the cost.

Apple doesn't have to. They just sell the discs and don't waste money
on tracking how those discs get used. It's a big PITA and distraction
that Apple is not burdened with.

Looking at Apple's growth I believe that this decision hasn't hurt
their profitability in any way. If the folks at Apple ever change
their mind about this, then you'll see them do something to control
over how many different machines a single copy of OS X can be
installed on. Maybe they'll go the MS route or maybe something
completely different. But they'll change if they think it's costing
them serious money if they don't change.

Apple doesn't trust or not trust their customers. We're not on some
fantasy honor system ... though I infer enough people who buy OS X
discs have been honorable enough. It's just not worth that much to
Apple to be annoying PITAes about the OS X installs. And I thank
&deity. for that!!

It does nothing of the sort.

The differences 'under the hood' between 10.4 and 10.5 are HUGE. It  
would pretty much require Apple writing *three* iPad support systems  
(one for Windows, one for 10.5/10.6 and one for 10.4) to include 10.4  
(which is exceedingly long in the tooth as OS revs go) compatibility.

In the Windows case you HAVE to register with MS after an initial period since 
the install. The difference between MS and Apple is MS makes its money 
exclusively from the s/w, whereas Apple makes it's money by selling you a 
system. Presumably they make some money from retail OS upgrades, but as the 
hardware requirements increase with each release, they effectively make the 
older hardware obsolete, encouraging us to buy a new system.

I just pre-ordered a 3G iPad and find it annoying that I HAVE to have Leopard 
to use it with a Mac (I'm currently still using Tiger) but I can use it with 
Windows XP if I want.

This clearly illustrates Apples marketing strategy! It may backfire. I already 
have a WinXP Core 2 Duo system that I use for music production only, doing 
everything else on PPC systems because I cant afford a Mac Pro :-( Maybe it 
will be my iPad home now too?

No, Windows does NOT do this. There's a serial number that works with  
the installer, and if you NEVER connect to the internet, at least with  
XP and lower, you're A-OK. However, Windows phones home with the info

Again. Apple does not require serialization of their OS...remember,  
you're legally only allowed to run it on a Mac.

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?

 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.



Absolutely!

As one who holds some intellectual property, I agree completely.  I  
was just rationalizing from Apple's perspective.

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?

 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.

Re: Question about Tiger DVD Install Disc???

[Richard Gerome]

   Didn't make any money... But I got 2 computers (one being my Ti Powerbook) 
out of it, both my daughters each got one and a some of my friends paid me for 
a few what I had in them and the rest that I got together and running I sold on 
ebay and pretty much got back what I paid for everything... Also I am allowed 
to make $800 a month without affecting my S.S, I could take a job for up to 9 
mons without affecting my S.S. just to see if I could work again and quit 
without any probs (I know some that do just this a lot too) How about 
Walmart they have a lot of people working for them on S.S.I. and S.S.D. and 
they get subsidized by our Gov to hire them and then Walmart takes out a life 
Ins policy on them a get money for when they die... It is not a business I am 
running... Check my ebay score "onecoolkat72"... I only did around 75 trans 
since 2002 and it's more buying then selling... I am not a power seller nor 
would I ever want to be... Ebay is a pain in the ass... Heres one for you I 
know some doctors who collect S.S. Disability and work as doctors in a foreign 
countries... Besides this is definitely off topic and really none of your 
business... This is more like therapy for me and I'm wondering what you would 
do if you were in my shoes??? Maybe I should do what some others do who are in 
my shoes, overdose on drugs and veg out in front of the tube??? What do you do 
for a living and how much money do you make??? Do you fell up to answering that 
question or is it none of my business??? I make less then $20,000 a yr and that 
my good friend puts me in poverty... Do you think you could live on that??? 11 
yrs ago because of a bad car accident and got hurt really bad... I ended up 
loosing everything... I went through 3 major surgeries since last June... I was 
an Auto Worker on lay off and couldn't get any of the benefits from work 
because I was on layoff for so long, I would have gotten my pension 4yrs ago 
when I reached my 30th yr but now I have to wait another 9yrs for it and won't 
get my benefits like the others who retire with 30yrs do... So thank God for my 
daughters and good friends who give me place to stay!!! And you should thank 
God nothing like this ever happens to you, be lucky for what you have, and pray 
you don't loose everything like I did...

No.  The media is read-only.  There is no concept of "used up".  If 
the media didn't work then either it had been damaged or that Mac's 
optical drive was foo.


FWIW... I have here in a rack one each of the OS releases on CD/DVD. 
Never backed any of 'em up.  But then again, I doubt I used any of 
them more than once or twice.  OS X is *monolithic*.  That means the 
full retail installation will run on any Mac (that that particular 
version supports, of course).  Once you install it on the first 
machine, and apply the available updates, and install your apps and 
such, make a clone/backup (use CCC or SuperDuper) on an external HD. 
From then on, to install on another machine, just slap a copy of that 
backup into it!  No lengthy re-install necessary!

Each Jaguar CD comes with a license to install on 1 Macintosh

installs in one household, not for computers to be given away or sold.  
Apple does not enforce this license in as draconian way as MS, but a

That being said, there is no authorization or validation system for

someway. A scratch, peanut butter on the surface or something similar.

However, Apple does not track that usage. You can in a practical sense, use a 
single disk to install as many times as you wishyou're just violating the 
licensing agreement and could be sued. (this is vastly more likely if you're a 
business)

going to try and make some copies of it!!! (I already have some friends trying)

Wrong.

The FIRST link provided by googling "apple mac os license" takes you 
to a page that contains all of Apple's licenses.



The license on the basic retail kit authorizes you to install the 
software on ONE computer.


The family pack lets you do up to FIVE computers.

Apple DOES NOT and has not ever offered an unlimated license.

Actually there is an unlimited usage on the install discs. Unlike Windows
install discs, As long as someone purchases it, and you have it, you can
install it on as many computers as you desire.

Question about Tiger DVD Install Disc???

[Richard Gerome]

   I am wondering if these retail install disc's are licensed like Window's 
are??? Is there a limit to how many times you can use them??? I'm asking this 
question because a while back I had a Jaguar disc go bad and I wasn't sure how 
many times I used it, so when I got a new one I made about 6 copies of it just 
in case... Thanks!!!
