Vista License

Just read an interesting article about some of the changes in the Windows Vista License, most notable:

Sections 15 and 16, "Reassign to Another Device," and "Transfer to a Third Party," are new. You can go read the exact terms for yourself. The short version is that you may "reassign the license to another device one time" or "make a one time transfer of the software, and this agreement, directly to a third party."

This really really sux....I've lost count of how many times I've upgraded my PC. I am wondering what they count as one hardware device. If I keep the same case, but upgrade the guts I would count that as the same device.

Eeek, they'll be fighting the gamers since every new gaming engine seems to require at least one upgrade if not a complete overhaul and re-install.

Then looks like XP's what its gunna stay for me. Pretty graphics and animation is nothing compared to the ability to constantly unpgrade...its what we gamers must do to stay alive in these fast paced advances in technology!
