Activation Question
Me and my friend were having a conversation about the difference between apples and pcs, besides all the obvious stuff...but one thing we both didnt know anything about was the activation part of a mac. Now im not saying i do this, but it is pretty known to everyone that you can download anything for a pc, and find a crack or some way to get it to work. now why can you do that with a mac? why cant you use someone elses activation number, or try to find another one? what did apple do that makes it impossible to find "cracked" software? and why doesnt MS try to do the same?

because Operating Thetans from the planet Zetatron have articulated interference waves along the Code Pink dimensional reticulator. It's truly an outlandish problem, but I hear they are working on the solution.

First, what the hell are you talking about?
Second.... wait, no just the first one.
what did apple do that makes it impossible to find "cracked" software?
Nothin'. You can find "cracked" software for Mac as much as you'd like and have free time to kill.

Yes. But we have already said too much.

At no point in your rambling, did you even come close to an intelligent thought. I award you no points, may God have mercy on your soul.
Just kidding, the answer to your question is obscurity and market share.
By the way, let me get your question clarified: Are you essentially asking, "Why is it harder to pirate software on a Mac?"
