I run a business, if I got checked without having a legal copy/key sitting next to my computer I would be in BIG trouble... So I figured I would have it around.

Well no thats not....

To be legal in the us when installing a using a different key there are a few rules...

If its pro in this case, you have to legally own pro, I don't think it can be an OEM copy either.

And remember its not the install that counts, its that stupid little piece of paper, plastic w/e the situation is that the license key is written on, possession of that is legal rights to the software.

That is horrible, yea it is a crime for him to do that but making him switch to windows is absolutely ridiculous, if he wants to use linux then so be it.

Thats funny actually I just got a copy of OSX to install on my main machine...

After I swap my mainboard I'll be running Server 2003 64bit, Ubuntu 64bit, and OSX!
Now all I need is 8gb of ram!

cdawall · Aug 26, 2007

My bus. partner is running osx on his pc its GREAT!

OSX isn't my favorite OS.....I prefer windows.

cdawall · Aug 27, 2007

theres nothing wrong with it :ohwell:

its more stable than windows

XooM · Aug 27, 2007

every single person who ever posts on a public forum saying "lol I USE A STOLEN COPY OF WINDOWS! DOWN WITH MICROSHAFT AND THE GOVERNMENT!" is just a complete moron. If you're going to steal crap, do it subtly, quit bragging. nobody is impressed and it just makes corporations' jobs a lot easier. Also, it's self-incrimination if it ever got to court.

And more efficient and faster and cheaper and better support....

So where is the downside???
:slap:

OSX OWNS YOU!

Sorry but the truth shines.

Don't think anyone here is bragging and nobody is yelling down with the government.

Besides we were talking about how to use Corp edition legally without buying 1000 licenses.

LOL

***************************
Nothing that counts except useless poorly programmed games....
***************************

Run Photoshop, Video Editing, or Music production software on Windows and then run it on OSX and tell me what happens...

Give ya an idea... Mac OS whoops winblows arse!

My Apple G3 with 512mb of ram whooped my old P4 2.8 with 1 gig of rams arse in Photoshop and I use it ALOT.

So there is a taste of Apple OS goodness over WinDont *do anything right*

***************************
Also remember thats not the OS sucking, thats the makers of the direct software there.

Whoever called me a Mac fanboi and then signed off...

Lol until you know anything don't bother to speak.

Mac OS is far superior to windows in many categories simple as that.

And I'm far from a Mac fan....

Take a read up of strapping Mac G5's together running Mac X Server...
Want to see technology, how about strapping the computers together and making them run like a rack system super computer, and the OS supporting it...

I think this may be the reason why sethv1993 called you a fanboi

although I have no clue who sethv1993 is........ :rolleyes:

Well its the truth....

Mac OS is far superior to Windows and it pretty much has been for years.
They are overpriced, and they have their market cornered, but for the things
they do, and the software that is also written for them, runs so incredibly much
faster and better its disgusting.

I do promotional work for about 20 nightclubs where I live, and every single DJ and light system runs on Mac's and OSX, I have a few close business contacts that work in various marketing and advertisement companies, all use Mac's and OSX, and a few people in music production well same thing again Mac's and OSX..

I plan on installing OSX on my system simply for photoshop and video editing, and if I ever get back into recording my own music again I will use it for that also.

Fox34 · Aug 27, 2007

yea buiness and workers use mac, for a homeuser no, no games, cant change out hardware as easy like on windows, no command line, not as much written.
Mac is for work. and If its so good, why are we all on windows.

Actually hardware changes are easier! Way easier, and no I wouldn't know that if it wasn't for being around my friend who is a Mac Fanboi hugely.

Anyways yes for most home users that want easy and their software they know its not a good choice, but it still is a superior OS standalone, and there is a command line "type" on mac os also

We are all on windows because its a world standard practically, everyone knows it, everyone has it, schools have it.

Mac's are expensive because they have a tight nit market, their OS isn't expensive their machines are... You will see microsoft eat a good chunk of market if mac releases a PC version of Mac OS. Currently I don't think they are allowed to do that by some goofy contract, but that will pass.
