Re: Transferring hardware from Mac to Mac, reactivating OS X not necessary

I acquired a 733MHz Quicksilver (2001) yesterday. I transferred the four hard drives, the CompUSA 5 port USB 2 card and the Sonnett Tempo ATA133 IDE card from the Sawtooth to the Quicksilver.

The QS booted without issues, the hardware showed up properly in System Proflier, and I am able to access the Web, newsgroups and email.

The only thing I had to re enter was the Drive Genius serial.

And most important, I did not have to reactivate Tiger.

I wonder why, Wintrolls.

Just one more reason OS X is superior to Windoze.

I guess you don't use iTunes and thus didn't have to deal with de-authorizing and re-authorizing?
