[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 506784, member: 26695"] A serial # doesn't really prevent anything either these days. I remember being key generators for any program for Windows. You can find XP serials everywhere. All you have to do is not download that genuine advantage tool or whatever and get away with using a serial used millions of times. Who's to say there isn't a hidden file with a serial number attached so when you register your product with Apple, a serial # is sent. I know you don't have to register but there is probably something going on behind the scenes. Or maybe Apple just relies on honesty. True to what they said above. Apple sells lots of other products besides its OS. I am not really familiar with Microsoft's product line off hand (so don't go off on me if i am wrong here), does Microsoft sell much beyond the Zune and xbox? If they don't, their OS really all they have to sell until recently. [/QUOTE]
