Microsoft listens and changes Vista licensing

Monday, November 6th, 2006

So Microsoft has listened to the uproar about its Vista licensing and has changed at least one major part:

Microsoft said on Thursday that it will not limit the number of times that retail customers can transfer their Windows Vista license to a different computer.

That is good news however there is still some way to go before the licensing for Vista is good and fair IMO.

On buying WinZip

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

I must say that after ten years of “Please register” wait screens and dodgy hacks it is nice being able to open a ZIP file with WinZip without any of that. It has taken me far too long to buy a license and give back a little that the great and venerable WinZip has given to me.
