Well at least you do not have one of those vaporware licences. I believe,
but an not sure, if you find yourself calling MS with one of these licenses
because of things like hdwe failure/replacement you COULD end up paying
another activation fee.
Personally I want to know if I can have my Vaporware Media Pro Vista
refunded. I can not use it, I need XP. Which I have. Vista is not compatible
with my software and to be very honest .... I do not like a vaporware
licence nor a handicapped OS. A Full non-vaporware verision for $400.00 with
all sorts of funky licence clauses sounds like a deal. $500-600 for a copy
of Office2007 and $1000-2000 for an ok laptop . WOW!!! for about $2000 I
could write a letter and demand my money back and if I got it .... well
..... WOW!!!
