Hi, Adding to what others have already said about this:
The only 'condition' discouraging benchmarking found in the EULA concerns .NET benchmark testing. Also, this is a lie: "Vista's worst new "feature" is the outright prohibition against running Vista on a virtual machine. " This is true for the Home Basic & Home Premium, but it *IS* allowed for the Ultimate & Business editions. And this is really the best one: "Regardless of what the company ends up doing with the Vista licensing agreement, I say this: Microsoft, you don't hold dominion over all software. I reserve the right to use software I've purchased on any system I own. " And that's coming from an attorney writing for Law.com?? He probably didn't even RAED the Vista EULA (which you can download as PDF files from MS: http://www.microsoft.com/about/legal/useterms/default.aspx "SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement." I suggest he'll stick with Ubuntu Linux... -- Arie Slob, MVP, Windows Shell/User http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ http://www.helpwithwindows.com http://www.windowsbbs.com http://www.windowsnewsletter.com > -----Original Message----- > From: Windows Home/SOHO > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Bird > Sent: Tuesday, 14 November, 2006 16:31 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Vista reviewed > > Quoting Wayne Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > Here is something I came across this morning, which you may enjoy... > -- ---------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is your picture included in the Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page? http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html If not, write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
