Hours before 10.4.5 is released
THAT DIDN'T TAKE long now did it? Yesterday I said that it would probably be much easier to
run OSX on a PC than it would be to run XP on a MacIntelIntosh. Golly, look what happened, OSX 10.4.4 was cracked, and there is a
patch floating around. Chalk one up for foresight.
Now, there are a few caveats. Apple worked long and hard on this one, and deserve to sell good hardware for its efforts, don't rip them off, there is no moral stance here.
If you do have a valid licence to do so however, you might want to be careful, the current state of the patch still pretty rough. To make things a bit more of a cat and mouse effort, a few hours after that, 10.4.5 was released, and this one undoubtedly has new security measures. In a shocking twist, I predict that this one will be cracked hours before 10.4.6 is released. Apple seems to be on the ball here, and is paying close attention. Game on.
