- farbanti, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2To upgrade 100% legally you would have to purchase the $199 "Family Pack" http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/10/16leopard. ...
If you have the money, best to keep it legal and support Apple's innovations with your $. With that said, you are right, it probably would work unless Apple has added new protections this round. They probably wouldn't notice/care unless you go about posting the suggestion on your personal blog and submit it to Digg where every Apple story makes it to the front page and gets millions of hits... you many want to consider buying the family pack now :)- farbanti, on 10/21/2007, -0/+1oops the link was cut short, here is the correct one http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2007/10/16leopard. ...

£99 for 5 computers is peanuts...tight was...buried for being lame..
