Apple needs quality hard ware and trusted suppliers to deliver it. Companies like LG have made a mockery of American technology by selling cheap and inconsistent panels and Apple sells and lies to he public regarding such matters. My biggest concern with macs are software conflict and HD fail.

Sound better that what one might have thought you meant.
Actually, the terms are relative, and neither you or I can be certain where the heck this is in the development cycle. This might even be a Release Candidate or dare I say, Gamma release. Could it be beta? Alpha contains the processes of Milestones.
The problem with these terms, is, as I've said, it's relative to a whole load of other things.
Alpha does not necessarily mean that functionalities are broken, it depends on where it is within the milestone cycle of project management.
It's complex. I wish I could draw a picture, but I can't right now.
Wow downloading a developer preview OS just for the wallpaper???????? Give me a break, kid. Let the devs debug the OS so when you get the finial release you can enjoy the software and your wallpaper.
besides if you looked at the lion forum, the flower and mt.fuji wallpaper have been already uploaded
Apple should have raised the developer minimum buy in for the Mac Community and the iOS community. It's about about quality not wallpapers.
I didnt want for the wallpaper, it was a separate question.

Christ, you're annoying.
You feel that *somehow* Apple are being wronged by the all the people pirating the beta, as to why, I can't begin to imagine. If people want to play with buggy software, who are you to take an extremely condescending tone and tell them not to? Not only that but you're having a go at someone for something they didn't say, because you can't comprehend what they've written.
Right, but the person that iDisk's post was directed at never said he/she pirated it. iDisk didn't even mention piracy in their post.
Legally the only way to get it is to pay yourself into the developer program! Illegally? I don't think I can say, but it is out there. Isn't hard to find. You can install it fine, but don't waste 3.34GB of your internet downloading it. It's buggy and unstable. I tried it out and I think Ill stick with SL for now 
It was more aimed at people breaching the terms of the NDA they signed electronically.
I just got it, from a place i will not mention here
Did not get it to pirate anything, just to see how the new features work, made a quick partition on my HD and tested it out, installed like a charm, and works fine, it's definitely unstable and there are still a lot of apps that won't work like they should, but it gives me a good view of what's coming
I'd say good work apple, i love the switching between apps in full screen with the swipes, magic!

apple lion dev forums... Check them out
nda's are being breached plain and simple
thanks man for understanding and seeing what im saying
..... Apple could easily remedy this by charging a $1000 premium to become a developer for Mac or iOS
Yea only certain people who know cocoa and objective-c can develop for the Mac. So what's your argument?
You said Windows is a terrible platform because anyone can develop for it. And yet anyone who knows Cocoa and Objective-C can develop for Mac OS X.
Although I see later on you clarified what you were saying.

No problems installling?
Nope, i ran into some problems partitioning at first, but that was quickly resolved through disk utilitys' repair disk.
After partitioning i installed, gave me an error the first time, right when it was supposed to be finished. Second time ran smooth and installed perfectly
Wrong.
Once obtained, it can be installed without restriction. Machines do not have
to be authorized or logged in. Stop the scare tactics...

There is nothing to crack in the "legally downloaded file". It's simply a 3.6gb app with a non copy-protected/non-encrypted .dmg inside. Once had, install at will...

Doesn't matter if I am or not. It can and has been installed on non-dev
machines and people with non-dev affiliation. What's your point?
Evidently you are unaware that the primary wrapper had authentication tokens and receipts in it.
I am aware of the second. Having been with the people who have removed the receipts from the file, I know what has been going on.
I agree with you overall, but I think you're being a tiny bit harsh/elitist in many regards.
If someone wants to pay $100 for a buggy OS, and have no intentions of developing programs for it, it should be their right. Just because this "kid" downloads it for the wallpaper, doesn't mean the quality of the OS will be degraded for legit developers / programmers.
