[LUG] Interesting article about the MS Vista EULA

 

Hi folks,

There is an interesting article about the EULA on MS Vista on The 
Register at the moment.  You can find it here: 
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/10/29/microsoft_vista_eula_analysis/

Now if only the word about the restrictions of the new license could get 
out to the masses...

I see on there it says that Vista Starter will only be available to 
OEM's.  Does that mean if the users want to do anything with their OSes 
they will have to fork out for an upgrade?!?

Seems a bit of a cheek to me to have to pay for a Vista license and then 
pay an additional fee to upgrade it to do what I want with it.  Thank 
god I switched to Linux when I did.

Rob
