If you follow my twitter feed you would know that a couple months back my snow leopard upgrade disc disappeared. I had bought a family pack back when Snow Leopard was introduced, but because of Cricket Wireless not supporting Snow Leopard I had to downgrade. Since I no longer need Cricket Wireless I wanted to upgrade again, but the disc was gone. Since no one around here has a retail version of the operating system, I had resolved myself to having to purchase it again.
I went in the Apple Store today to ask if there was any way to install the OS from a restore disc from a different computer (because i had access to one of those). While there isn’t a way to do that, they did look up my purchase from last year and gave me a retail copy of the OS.
Microsoft would not have done that.
