    Hey everyone,

    Seeing that the Boot Camp Beta Expiry date is coming soon, I realized that I will be needing the new OS Leopard to access my Windows programs. So, I was wondering, to save myself some cash, would it be somewhat legitimate if I were to buy the Family Pack of Leopard and share it with three other friends? It says you must all be living in the same household, this is 'partially' true, seeing that we all belong to the same fraternity. Two of my friends live in the house, while the other and myself do not. Should I just buy a single version or do I not need to worry about Apple hunting me down?

    Thanks a lot and Happy Holidays!

    I doubt Apple is going to install cameras all over your house or hide in the bushes to make sure you all live in the same place.

    Yea even if you live under the same roof ( I guess apartment/condos would count too ;p) I'm pretty sure that qualifies for family pack.

    And no, I really doubt they enforce the whole family thing, considering that they dont have any antipiracy/activation systems.

    Although technically I think its part of the agreement/eula or whatever that you live in the same building. but thats all technical.
