Wired reports that a kid at CompUSA used his iPod to download Office for OS X. He just plugged the iPod into a Mac\’s firewire port and copied the program straight over in less than a minute. Part of the problem is that Office for OS X includes \”a self-repair mechanism that replaces critical files in the system folder,\” making it much easier to pirate than Windows programs which use system files in other locations.
I think Wired just opened up a can of worms.
