Tiger to Snow Leopard for $29?

[drummer22]

This isn't something I plan on doing due to the fact that I have Leopard.

However, I read somewhere that as long as you have an Intel based Mac that the $29 upgrade to Snow Leopard will work, even if you have TIGER.

Is this true?

For the 2039423904th time. Yes. But it violates the EULA.

Yes.

It does? Then how come they didn't have the disc check to see if the OS is tiger or leopard?

I am not Mr. Jobs. There are plenty of things that violate EULA's, plenty of people still decide to break them. Very similar to people not paying sales tax on Amazon.

If there was a system check, you wouldn't be able to install Snow Leopard on a brand new hard drive. They just use the same disc for the upgrades (not drop ins), single user license, and family pack license.

But getting snow leopard if you have tiger is actually against the EULA?
