Vista licence: punishment for frequent upgraders?

[JAD]

Oh, this should be good for a laugh. Tell us exactly, and in detail, why
Microsoft changed the EULA.

One day this guy named crispy complained and they changed it.......

 

[Brian]

See Ron Hubbard I wasn't far off..... thank you Brian... now get a
life....;^)

Yeah, because I take 30 seconds to check wikipedia, that means I have no
life.

[Brian]

Really? I didn't know that was possible.

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Plus, I also run Age of Empires 2 (it's sorta old, but still fun)

ok if you say so

 

[ToolPackinMama]

No you don't. There are usually Windows ports of the FOSS stuff
included in Linux distros.

FOSS stuff?

 

[ToolPackinMama]

It is if you're a power user and have to have full MS Office
compatibility for a great many functions

Like what? I'm not argueing, I'm just asking.

 

[ToolPackinMama]

Cedega runs a fair few Windows games on Linux.

Can you tell me more about that?

 

[ToolPackinMama]

Really? Better tell that to the people in the Ubuntu forums who ended
up with hosed systems after doing an upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10.

(snip)

Ooooooooooh, so some few linux users have felt the pain that billions of MS
users have suffered multiple times after automatic updates that hosed the OS
in some fashion.

DITTO! ::highfive!::

You don't get it do you? Because of the way gates runs his buisness, it

still exist, anyone else experiencing this kind of piracy would be long
since out of buisness.

Unless they truly ran their business like microsoft

 

[ToolPackinMama]

Cool. Details, please.

He accuses you of having no life, yet he's the one who spends all his
time trolling these news groups trying to impress people with his
self-styled take on all things both technical and otherwise.

Disagree with him and face his wrath.

Oh, and don't forget, the JADtroll knows exactly what's good for you. You
don't.

Yes,

So that claim you made is clearly just plain pig ignorant and wrong.

so long as it stays with that mb,

Wrong again.

What you just said is completely irrelevant to what I said.

Yet another bare face lie.

Cool. Details, please.

Thanks for the recognition. Rod should be licking my boots for the
extraordinary lenghts I went to to get the EULA changed. He's an ingrate.

 

[Crispy Critter]

Why not? The license only specifies that the builder is responsible for
supporting the hardware and software. I have no problem with that. I
wouldn't expect anybody at Microsoft to be able to help me with Microsoft
software, anyway.

I've seen one person post at HardOCP that they were refused activation of
OEM XP. He did get it activated by calling back and talking to someone else
but with retail upgrade XP I don't have to be concernedd about that ever
happening. An extra twenty bucks is nothing to me.

 

[Crispy Critter]

It's odd that microsoft allows this, then.

They don't, people lie when they call to get OEM XP activated and just say
it is on the same PC.

Unlike you who has nothing to offer but juvenile behaviour

Disagree with him and face his wrath.

stop practicing what you sign.....
