  As someone who's using (legally!) 7.0b4 on my machine, I can say
unequvocally that you've some very strange impressions about the typical
Apple Partner / Apple Computer relationship.  The message which came with
the software was much more like this (Unspoken implications in brackets):

"Due to its preliminary nature and potential instability, do NOT distribute 
or demonstrate this software outside your organization. [ How would you like 
to have your own beta software distributed to the world by mischievous beta
testers? ]"

  I think you're just a little too hung up on what version of the OS you're
running.  Go play some racquetball or go see a movie with your S.O. or
something. :-)
