I have a request from whoever is willing. I won't let the scripts on the MS websites run on my Linux computer. (I use Firefox and the add-on called no-script. It blocks every script on any web page unless I tell it to let it work. But I won't do that on the MS website.) Because the scripts aren't allowed to run I can't even get near the EULAs. Will someone grab an electronic copy of the EULA for WinXP Pro both the OEM and retail versions, also WinXP Media Center Edition and all the Vista EULAs and e-mail them to me. PLEEEEAAASE! I would like to read them. I like to put things that MS does to restrict customers on my website. I like to show the difference between the commercial EULAs and the GNU GPL and GNU LGPL. -- http://24.197.142.167/~jack/openofficefaq.php Read the OpenOffice.org FAQ Microsoft users go to http://www.pclinuxos.com for a great user friendly Linux experience! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
