It’s the Pentium serial number all over again, and Apple has a history of respecting its customers privacy to at least some extent.

IMO, it won’t happen that way. Only time will tell. If it does happen that way, it may prevent me from purchasing a Mac.

Whatever they decide to do, I hope it works. The state of PC hardware is a bit of a mess and I’d like to ensure the preservation of my ivory tower.
