Description

The listing, Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Retail Disc, Unopened has ended.

During tomorrow's Snow Leopard launch, I've decided to purchase an extra copy to list on Listia. It is unopened and unused and will come with the shrink-wrap still on it. Learn more about Snow Leopard at: http://www.apple.com/macosx/ Free shipping within the US.

Questions & Comments

How much did it cost? If it was the $29 one, then it's an upgrade. The full one costs over $100

$29. See more at: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC223Z/A

Oh, and spoiler alert: cat owns the lizard.

Why is it I feel like you're toying with me? It's like when a cat plays with a lizard. It's going to end bad, but I just haven't figured it out yet.

I suppose we'll have to see... :P

Sep 2nd, 2009 at 2:04:41 PM PDT by

Come on... don't give up yet. This could all be yours for only a few more credits... Maybe the lucky number is 3400? You won't win if you don't play.

Haha... hmm it would go nicely in my media center but that MacBook is really purty... I suppose we'll have to see...

Do you have a nice wireless Mac keyboard and mouse you can put up for my new Mac Mini!

Sep 2nd, 2009 at 1:53:08 PM PDT by

Hahaha I hate you man :P. I'm out on the mac mini and going for the MacBook... I have a wireless Logitech diNovo keyboard on Listia but not a mouse... it says under compatibility that it only works with PCs but a friend of mine uses the exact same one with and iMac and is works great.

@ atomer9: confirmed true.

Sep 2nd, 2009 at 12:39:06 PM PDT by

Will this work on the Mac Mini that I am hoping to out bid you on?

Sep 1st, 2009 at 8:23:29 PM PDT by

Haha! Yes! It absolutely will. i don't see why you would need it though, it's not like you're going to win. =P

Hey guys, FYI- the upgrade is really the standalone system. Apple put it out that way so that if a user ever had to re-install Snow Leopard, they wouldn't have to install Leopard, then re-upgrade to Snow Leopard. Apple also doesn't use serial keys, so they kind of put this out on the honor system.

Good point!

is it possible to format a partition on a windows pc?

Aug 28th, 2009 at 11:47:48 AM PDT by

It is not possible to answer that question in a single post... it's complicated and depends what kind of Windows PC. For example, a PC with compatible hardware (like a Dell Mini 9 or MSI Wind) can be "hackintoshed" to run retail copies of Snow Leopard. Other computers cannot be hackintoshed due to an incompatible processor.

Remember though, that in no cases can you pop in a mac DVD and install it to a PC. It will require a boot agent to launch the Mac Disc image like Boot 123 or a similar method. Check out the OSx86 Project for more info.

iWork '08 would go great with this!

I read on the site, is this a solid OS, or just an upgrade?

Aug 29th, 2009 at 9:54:53 AM PDT by

Don't quote me on this but I believe it's a solid OS and not just an upgrade...here's why I think that: I bought the same one and wiped my HDD on my MacBook and then installed this. It didn't require me to install over Leopard. Hope this helps.

Aug 29th, 2009 at 11:08:31 AM PDT by

Quick change: no local pickup on this one, please. Free shipping only. Let me know if this causes an inconvenience. Thanks!

Aug 28th, 2009 at 11:41:52 PM PDT by

No problem. Good luck on the bidding.

Aug 28th, 2009 at 5:00:35 PM PDT by

thank you so much for the info.

Aug 28th, 2009 at 4:37:13 PM PDT by

Just an FYI for everybody: I just installed a different copy I bought on my MacBook Pro Uni-15 and it's noticeably faster. Some cool features in this and hooray - native Exchange support!

You have to have specific processors, ram, hard drives, etc to run Mac on Windows. Google Hackintosh.

Aug 28th, 2009 at 4:18:26 PM PDT by

True, although the range of compatible components has grown over the past couple of years.
