Early Tiger Take 2

On Friday, I noted that Tiger was shipping early. Since then, some really interesting bits of information have turned up. Most notably, Apple is saying they won't support the early-shipped copies of Tiger and: "When I told the rep 'No,' [about returning Tiger] he reiterated that Apple won't support my version and that I would have to get a version that shipped next week for it to be supported. He then threw in the offer of a free copy of iLife or iWorks for my inconvenience!"

So, if they call you to return that early-shipped copy of Tiger, say 'no' a few times and try to get some freebies.

UPDATE: Check out this comment for new info. Looks like the Apple support people figured out that they have to support the early-shipped Tiger copies and that they shouldn't be telling people otherwise. Good Apple. ;-)

It sounds like the support people now got the info that some people can have received a legal copy of Tiger: http://macbidouille.com/niouzcontenu.php?date=2005-04-25#10860 The article is in French but the interesting part is in English. Hard to say it took too long, considering it's Monday.

I read on one of the Mac forums that you do not legally have to return unordered merchandise. Here is the link to US Code: http://straylight.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode39/usc_sec_39_00003009----000-.html They are just trying to scare people.
