No amount of system security can prevent an idiot from installing malware himself if the idiot has administrator access.

You said — “Idiots downloading infested pirated apps ping.”

There’s only one version of iWork 09 that Apple puts out. They are all 30-day fully working copies. You simply add a user “registration” into the entry field on the software and you turn it into a “long-term” working copy.

That’s all it is. There is no pirated copy. It doesn’t exist because Apple gives away *for free* the only copy they make — you then add the “number” in the appropriate field, after you’ve already downloaded it.

I downloaded the iWork 09 copy from Apple and put it up on BitTorrent for other Apple Macintosh users. They had a lot on there either getting it from Apple or from BitTorrent.

Either way, it was no big deal..., as it’s free in the first place...
