Vista - End User License (Extortion) Agreement

[RobH]

We're not really sure what we're in for with Vista :?, how (if) it will work, and all those things. But we do have an idea that the EULA gives Microsoft all sorts of powers, including being able to shut off your operating system (or parts of it) , and also possibly limiting the number of times you can "reactivate" the software >.

If Microsoft goes through with its plans, I may have to re-buy my software at some point!!

Here's one article that discusses the EULA in (much) detail:
