Mac OS X Tiger Accidentally Shipped Early

boarder8925 writes "Engadget reports: 'In many places around the world, Mac fans and Apple distributors received a shipment they weren't quite expecting: Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger arrived at the door a full eight days ahead of schedule for some lucky folks who pre-ordered. Vendors PCMall/MacMall and ClubMac gave pre-order customers a treat by unleashing the OS ahead of schedule, quickly followed up by a 'recall' of the copies from PCMall.'"

    Of course, Fidel Catsro knows all about legal threats and what not! I bet this pales in comparision to the cuban missle crisis hey Fidel? I knew infamous people posted here like Wil Weeton, William Shatner, RMS and Linus but you sir are the best yet, may you rule Cuba for another 40 more years. Thankyou for taking the time to support of yet another minority group, the mac users. I know you must be busy in your country as well so my adoration will be short and sweet. Maybe there is sanctuary in your country for us. You don't support dracionan laws like the DMCA, nor sue filesharers who like listening to music, corporations don't seem to have a foothold in your country either. I would like to share in your paradise please.

    Apple may have blundered, but the terms of the sale were that users pay their license fees and in return they get a copy of Tiger on April 29. As silly as Apple's insistence may be that the accidentally shipped copies are returned, users have no contractual right to those copies and ought to comply with Apple's request.
