As far as I know, running OS X on hardware (or virtual machines) not explicitly sanctioned by Apple is against their terms of use. If your school does not have a discount on Mac software and hardware, you need to purchase it yourself in the Apple academic store. Asking somebody to buy it for you is again, against the terms of use. >> On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 02:56:32PM -0500, dutchman_mn at charter.net >> wrote: >>> If you know a U of M student, you can have them purchase it for >>> around $30+ >> >> As long as you don't worry about violating the terms of use, what's >> ignoring the academic terms of use?
