<blockquote class="posterous_long_quote" readability="0">For the rest of us, which I have to believe constitutes an infinitesimal fraction of the Macintosh user base, I would bet money that the great majority of those, in the know, also do the right thing. I wouldn't consider buying the $29 upgrade and putting it on my four Macs all running Leopard any more than I would consider shoplifting, which for all intents and purposes is the same thing.<p></p> So the dirty little secret is out and I'm sure it surprises no one. The next time you buy intellectual property, regardless of how it's packaged, read the EULA. For most of us this would be a first. I for one never read them. I just scroll down as fast as I can and click on 'agree' to get to the goodies, but perhaps this case will change things a bit. I wouldn't sign a contract I didn't read and maybe it's time for this behavior to filter down to intellectual property.<p></p> Let us know your feelings on this potentially sticky situation.</blockquote>

<p>TUAW has given us the lowdown on the EULA for the Snow Leopard upgrade disks that does work to upgrade Tiger. Fine it works, but beyond the ethical question, there is the problem of iLife and iWork ... you don't get those updates. Heck if I didn't buy the iLife '09 update I'd be on the version of iLife that shipped with my MBP. </p><p>So do the Tiger versions of iLife work well enough with Snow Leopard? Should you expect it to?</p></div></div>- gossip twitter celebrity gossip bytopgossip1
