Microsoft do not give out beta copies. Not yet anyway. Only developers have them. So if you know someone who has, it's not a legit copy.laidbackliam said:will there be betas of osx 10.5 before the full release, or does apple keep that type of thing in house? it seems MS is pretty cool with letting vista get out for people to see/test/guinea pig, but i can see apple just sitting back and having a fully functioning new os without the beta stage.
that said, i hope they beta it.....
It's very easy. Each copy has an encrypted code which is individual and can be traced back. The same is done with music which gets distributed before release to people such as radio and promoters. I'm sure Apple will do the same with 10.5.Project said:But its very very hard to pinpoint any leaks to somebody.
