[QUOTE="KamileonX, post: 566995, member: 39554"] I'm not disagreeing with you, but just a note that OEM is not the same license as Retail Box. So since Apple doesn't have different licenses per OS X disc that goes out, you have to consider it a retail box product. An OEM OS X disc would be the recovery disc that comes with the purchase of a Mac. You cannot compare Microsoft OEM licenses to Apple Retail Boxes. The purpose of the two licenses and discs are different. The most direct comparison would be a Retail Box of Vista Home Premium to the OS X Leopard box that you can buy in the Apple Store $399 vs $129 (CDN $'s) is quite the difference and would be enough of a difference to have me buy the disc instead of download it. Not to mention that the Leopard disc has everything on it instead of having 4 (3 consumer level) versions that may have "limited" functionality compared to Ultimate. But that is a different debate altogether. [/QUOTE]
