But it would be better still if I could get at Apple's serial number; that seems more designed for this sort of purpose. The Windows (pure or near-pure Java) version will ship later, and we will probably need to address registration there differently.

No, it wasn't designed for this sort of purpose at all -- this is very bad practice. Don't use unique identifiers for machines, most users find it extremely annoying.
