If you order a machine with software pre-installed, do you still get a disc as well?

[Whackintosh]

Just wondering!

 

[EricNau]

Yes, of course.

And you can still sell the software assuming you remove it off your machine first.

 

[0087215]

Yes, you do! Don't worry about it!

 

[clearchaos]

does this include Leopard?

 

[Eanair]

Yep.

I got my new iMac with iLife 09, and I have an iLife 09 disk I can use to put the software back on it should I ever need to start from scratch again.

I opened up my mini last night and it came with a little carton called "Mac Stuff". Your reinstall DVDs and such are included. Yes it includes Leopard.

This is another reason to switch to a Mac..... Trying to reinstall Windows is a horror show..... Apple makes it so easy....

I don't know about a horrow show. I've done it so many times it's second nature. But I've never found it to be anything but straight forward. Granted I've had it fail a few times. I've only reinstalled OS X on 2 Macs and didn't think one was more dificult than the other.

I don't know if you would get a retail disc, but I would be plenty mad if I bought a new Mac and didn't get at least a restore disc with it.

Yep.

Hmmmm, I got an iMac last weekend and it only has 2 disks, the OS and an application disk, no separate iLife disk.

 

[pinchy]

That's strange... did you order from the online store or buy it retail?

Ilife is on the application disk , always been this way.
