None of it is good news, but it's the info in the zdnet blog that's just sneaky and unfair. You can only transfer the license to one other computer one time! After that, you probably need a new llicense! Microsoft's licensing terms were bad enough, but now they're making them even more restrictive and worse! :eek:

Yep its estimated that a whole company will spend 50,000$ on Vista, fuck that, screw Microsoft I will just do whatever I want with the copy of Vista I am getting for GoTechGeeks.

Microsoft is getting worse, they are still failing with IE, Office 07 is going to be delayed until 07, not out by December and Vista keeps on becoming the new Windows ME/NT

I agree. Do what you want. Everyone should because licensing is just crap to begin with anyway.
