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.

Vista licensing

Monday, October 16th, 2006

I think anyone involved in computers has to shout long and hard about Microsoft Windows Vista licensing.

Even if you hate Microsoft and wish its downfall, even if you use Linux or OS X religiously it doesn’t matter. A lot of normal folk are going to be burnt by Microsoft’s new licensing and they have no idea it is coming. You need to tell your mom and dad, your non-tech friends and your company IT that the licensing is terrible and that Microsoft has to change it before it releases Vista.
