Buying the OEM version does NOT, in fact, violate the EULA--practically anyone in the world is qualified to buy, install and use it. See Ars Technica for the details: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070130-8730.html
I did a 'clean' install of Windows XP using an upgrade version. So, what's new?
Howard ...Did you install it twice too?
Given Vista's hardware demands does it really matter if you're running a pre-XP operating system? You'll have to buy a new computer to run Vista, and the money you spent on the upgrade will have been a total waste. Another sneaky way for Microsoft to vacuum your wallet clean. I wonder how many folks will get suckered into buying the upgrade, thinking they're beating Microsoft?
Payback is a beautiful thing.
This just barely makes up for all the Microsoft software that never worked even half as good as Bill Gates said they would. The truth is, even if they gave Vista away for free they will still make more money than they should.
Is the glass half-empty, or half-full? What does it matter when it's the only water you can get your hands on?
I'm not interested in Vista anymore, Bill Gates in his recent interview with newsweek made me think he is all smug claiming the Mac OS is less than secure, full of bugs, hackable......and yet, 72 hours later we are full of vista glitches.
I'll skip the 360 Xbox now as well, if he's going to stoop to Sony type lies, then I don't need MS anymore.
I'm a student, so I hope I don't risk my 'Product Key becoming invalid' because I qualify for the Student version.
In da house!
