PC enthusiasts' clamour gets major change in Windows Vista EULA
Quote:
Microsoft has reacted swiftly - and positively - to remove one of the restrictions in Windows Vista's end user licensing agreement (EULA) that has caused worldwide condemnation by PC enthusiasts.
A change of wording in the EULA - and, presumably, of the copy-protection technique used by the forthcoming operating system - now means that it will be possible to install the retail version of Vista on more than two PCs in succession.
Consequently, PC hardware enthusiasts will be able to move a single copy of Vista through a series of new or upgraded PCs, not just from one PC to one other.
On the downside, two of the three original mean-minded limitations in the EULA detailed in our recent HEXUS.opinion are unchanged.
