Early Tiger shipments were a mistake; recall on them!
this is great. mac mall and all those vendors that shipped Tiger early are having a recall on the boxes because they mistakenly shipped them early.

I saw that but If I would have pre-ordered, and got it I would not be sending it back.

well the blurb on engadget mentions something about apple not supporting dvds from this first shipment. did we ever resolve the issue as to whether or not tiger was going to require any sort of official registration? if so, apple could deny these first ones. obviously if you return the box and get a new number that one would work. this is all probably just some scare tactic on apple's part. the resellers always complain about apple and look what they did. talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

I thought osx wasnt keyd - if that is true, then all you need to do is skip registration and do it on like...friday...
It does try to automatically connect to the internet to submit your registration info, but this can be cancelled.
No wonder everyone's trying to find the Bit Torrent file...
I'm sure if you tried to call for support BEFORE April 29th... you'd get no help from a CSR... but Apple has NO WAY of knowing how, when or where you got your install disc.
Is Apple trying to piss off its loyal customers?

Apple is not trying to "screw the loyals", the APPLE AUTHORISED RESELLER = NOT Apple f&&&ed up, so now they are trying a cheeseball, low-down dirty and possibly illegal scare tactic as a last ditch CYA so as not to piss Apple off so badly that they loose their authorised reseller status?
Isn't this whole thing of "We screwed up so you get No Support!" illegal anyway,it is intimedation: like "Send it back or else - bucko" All that is missing here is Paully Wallnutz going door-to-door to collect or bust balls.
They just followed-up a dumb move with a slightly dumber move... that's all.
Apple has nothing to do with it.

Yep... this is not an "Apple" thing... this is the 3rd-party vendor s#1tting themselves because they know they fu¢%ed-up royally. Apple is not the one making claims of "Get them back immediately or we'll never support them!" - It's the dumb-ass vendor sales manager's decision to use a cheesy scare tactic to trick purchasers into sending-back their copies... but for what...? It would serve no purpose at this point...
