Then you shouldn't have to steal. It's only $120 or so bucks for a legal copy. Do it.
The stock and company have performed well. That's not a justification for stealing from shareholders.
do we even know if its illegal for him to use the drop in copy if the purchaser doesnt use it?
And what's the difference between using his, than using mine when a new MacPro comes with it?
Attempting to justify your thievery again?
Look, if you want to publicly talk about how excited you are to steal something, that's great. You've got some messed up ethics, and appear proud of them. Just don't expect everyone to be okay with your lack of morals--especially when we are the victims of your theft.
If you want to publicly talk about your crime, don't start trying to justify it. Call it what it is--software piracy and theft.
because you're still violating the EULA. Is it really that hard to wait until you acquire it legally?
And if you haven't ordered a Mac Pro yet, you won't be getting a drop-in disc. Leopard will come pre-installed.
All in all, just spend the 129 if you want it on your macbook. everyone seems to forget that you aren't required to upgrade. if the new features are worth 129 to you, then just spend it. if they aren't worth it, don't buy it!
Ok, ok, putting an end to this all. Not getting it Monday, I convinced my buddy to wait another two weeks. Just gonna wait for it with my MacPro. Just toooooo excited, that's all.

You'll still need to buy a legal copy for the MacBook, though
Why wait?

I know, I know. Well, by the time the MacPro comes out and I test Leopard on it, my B-Day is right around the corner and could get it for that. And by then, the price could be down a bit.
Let's get back on topic please......
Now the front page rumor is saying the Macbook may be updated as early as this Tuesday. Chance of Macbook & Mac Pro being updated the same day?? Probably close to zero.
I swear, Apple's hardware department has the Mac Pro on the "Pay No Mind" list. From what I've heard from a few places, it seems the marketing department runs the show over there.

I don't think we're going to see a Mac Pro before the 12th of November.
A new MacBook can be anytime now.

Longest running saga...
You know, even though I won't be buying the new mac pro (I gave up waiting in April) I can't help but feel great anticipation for what the update will bring. I'll be glad to see the GPU offerings for sure, to eye a replacement for my 7300. But it's been so long between "real" updates on the mac pro line that I'll feel like celebrating when it does come out.
We should have an official "How I'll be celebrating the release of the new mac pro" thread

Again, they were waiting for the Quad 3GHz model. The current model at the time was far more expensive for in most cases less performance. When the 3GHz one came out, they had it first. I doubt they'll wait too long if they can get their hands on them.
Now the video cards, that's another story.
Rv670?
ATI will launch it's RV670 card on November 15th.
If Apple puts the HD 3870 card in the next Mac Pro, wouldn't Apple wait until after November 15th to announce the Mac Pro?
I would much rather have the 8800GT card than the HD 3870 but whatever is going to happen is a done deal by now.

Me too but the wait is more tolerable now knowing the Mac Pro is just around the corner.
I'm just hoping "just around the corner" really means November and not the next big event, MacWorld. I mean, I really think it's coming within 2 weeks. Otherwise Penryn will be 2 months old by January and something newer will be coming months after that. lol
imho, there is no reason for the Mac Pro to not to come out this month.
imho, there is no reason for Apple to hold the Mac Pro until January.
imho, the only thing that could go wrong is Apple announces the Mac Pro this month but says you can order it now but the delivery will be delayed by a few weeks.
Out on a limb..
Just got to thinking..
What if the default order with which the products are arranged on Apple's page http://www.apple.com/mac/ are somewhat of a hint to the release dates!?
ACDisplays, Mac Pro.. as we all know are bound to be updated soon;
Mac Mini.. has rumors of being discontinued/updated, maybe making room 4 a new mid-range product;
Mac Book next in the list, then the Mac Book Pro..
Leaving at the end of the list the iMac and Leopard, which were recently refreshed.
Just spreading rumors..

Rock 'n Roll. Can't wait. Please let them just announce tomorrow. I can deal with that and then the two week wait just staring at the pictures online. lol
Has that timeline been moving down each time something was updated though? Never really caught on to that.
Hopefully the new Mac Pro can at least get the 8800GT which looks to be a very impressive card. Oh yea and throw in two for SLI-Gaming in XP.
Single-Slot means up to 8 - 30" Screens (with four cards), anyone ready to apply for another mortgage?
