I don't think it does currently, but that might not be forever, the DRM
chip is a unique identifier even more than the WinXP "Key", all
it would have to do is have some kind of unique CD identifier and you have
all you need for a 1 CD/1 computer scenario.

I don't think Apple is at the level if they care about single home type
things, and besides since you *have* to have Apple hardware to run it, they
know they got money from you already.
