| | Vista EULA - transfer once - good! According to ZDNET, "retail" copy of Vista can only be transferred to a new machine ONCE, and after that, you will need to buy a new one. But it doesn't say what constitutes a new machine, and maybe the old count - a new MB is also a NEW machine. If that's true, that means when we bought the new OS, we'd better to pray our MB never broken. Ha ha ha, funny. I guess MS has been working so hard to convince me not to buy the new OS. |

| | Re: Vista EULA - transfer once - good! If you do not like Vista licensing, by all means let Microsoft know. But, these peer to peer newsgroups are not the place if you want Microsoft to get your message. Microsoft may not get the message if you only voice your opinion here.

| | Re: Vista EULA - transfer once - good! Because a forum, by definition, is a place where people can exchange and share their ideas and thoughts, whether agreed or disagreed, but more people would have the opportunity to learn some ideas and thoughts that may not come to their mind. The survey or suggestion is only a "one way" communication channel in which you submit your thought and it's based on their discretion to act on it or not. What's more important is only you and the other party know while others may not know.
