False. You can use an upgrade version to clean install Vista.Though I heard it said that doing that is not 'legal' -- then again, if
one is using the upgrade version for a clean install and at the same
time 'retiring' XP on a computer, I'd think Microsoft wouldn't call in
the Justice department to nail you.
 
How do you know she's not a natural blonde?That might be asking for a tad too much personal information (even for
an out of control newsgroup like this one) <smile>

It's legal.

It's legal.

I'm not a lawyer so I tend to avoid making definitive statements
regarding those oh so simple COLA's <smile>

Actually, the term "legal" is not the proper word to use, since Microsoft does
not make laws. The last I looked in our Constitution, such powers are
delegated by the People to the Judicial branch of our Government.

Since Microsoft is no part of our government, they have no power to make laws.

The proper phrase to use would be "It's according to the Microsoft End User
License Agreement", and any breaking of this "Microsoft EULA" is only a civil
matter. By the way, "shrink-wrap" licenses are under attack by many
Judiciaries in the world as being contrary to the "Fair Use" rights of
consumers.
 
Right -- that's the summary I was seeking...

Donald, just a clarification- the Judicial branch of the US government
may by interpretation/upholding/striking down certain laws in affect
make law. But, it's the Legislative branch that actually makes laws.

Either way, Microsoft is not part of either of those branches, and
you are correct- "legal" or "illegal" or not proper words to use.
