About this mac

The other day i downloaded XCode from Apple site to have some experience of Apple development . And also the iPhone Development kit . After i downloaded the software it asked me to update my OS to latest version from Software Update tool before i can install the downloaded Software kit . It was irritating to know that . I dont find any reason why i should be having latest OS X version . Though I have 10.5.3 version of OS X . Latest one is 10.5.4 . I did not want to update my OS version . Rather i found a cool fast trick to get the Mac OS X version to any number i wanted . Now i have Mac OS X Leopard version 10.5.5 before apple has seeded this version .

What i did is - I modified the version number in the file SystemVersion.plist located at Leopard Installation drive>System>Library>CoreServices. Now i am able to install the Developer kit .

    So, by changing in the file .plist the numbers, in the window we will have a “latest” updated version? :)

    I will put something like 2010.5.5 :P
