New licensing terms for Windows Vista are a shocker.

[greylica]

Anyway I changed myself, and I guess Microsoft will in every launch of operating sytem be poorer in terms of use than it's predecessor. And I see John Dvorak is certain in tell us that Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional is the best system that was ever made by Microsoft. We can complete what we need with Free software and no bother with activation.
XP only give us a eye candy and things that where always in 2000 but the users did not use it before, cause it's not in the face of then screeming.
You will not bother my self for eye candy, never more.
In the next 5 or 6 years, that machine can be entirely productive with free software added.

I will leave as it is,

Kubuntu with XGL is better and faster than Vista, and much of the things we always needed is here for years. Rediscover Linux was a pleasure by the pressure Microsoft did to the enthusiast side of the comunity. I am one of them. I mount my systems.

They deserve it, they surpasses the limit. We are not the blame for piracy. We never was.

Really I rethink myself after this, and I will help Microsoft stop piracy,
Installing linux freely and offering suport to my friends and family, I will incentivate to not use any Microsoft OS never more.
At least we can understand and talk about software, benchmarks, programs, without worries. My life is not for playing games and then Vista will not make any diffrence in my life., My day by day is work normally like any honest human in the world.

Linux free games are also educative. I never see this in Windows, freely...
Linux is for the family, Linux is for everyone, thanks to Microsoft, I rediscover Linux.

I thought you told us you were going to make your posts coherent... Anyways, no one cares that Linux games are "educative," people want to play real games, like BF2, HL2/CS:S, WC3, etc. Linux is not in the mainstream, and game developers have put it aside.

That post was over a month old that your responding to.

PC gaming as a whole is pretty much drifting out of the mainstream. Most people aren't going to care about F2, HL2/CS:S, WC3, etc when that have those bunnies to play against on the Wii which is much more entertaining at a fraction of the cost of PC gaming.

Uhhhhhh Stash your wrong, Xellos did not say they were going to Kill Bill, they only stated a opinion. This is not a thing that can get you in trouble it is only a opinion. if it was stated we should go kill Bill then it would be another matter. There is still freedom of opinion in this country for now.

"Approximately 90 percent of Windows OS sales come from OEMs who are distributing the OS with new computers" - from: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060301-6295.html (among other sources)

This may be true but it's Microsofts tactics that makes this so. Unless a dealer like Dell puts Windows on there computers there are two reactions from MS< one the price they pay per copy of windows goes up, two if the dealer doesn't go with MS dictates the dealer can be blackballed and there computer is declared not compatable with windows. As the Windows OS has the market share it has forced onto the buying public such a blackballing could destroy the company and they would soon be totally out of business.

It's your software after all. Me Stink BAD your wrong you do not!!!!!! own the software you only have a licence to use it. And as to thye cann't make you agree. I think you will find that if you try to run VIsta on more than one computer only one will work. And they do care about how many computers you put the software on!! If they didn't they wouldn't have changed the wording of the contract.

That was sorta true at one point, but it's not true any longer and hasn't been for a long time. It used to be that Microsoft would raise the price of Windows on you if you shipped a non-Microsoft operating system, but that got stopped with their anti-trust lawsuites and such.
