I do believe so yes. I dont have the exact link but do some googling. It was
a big issue a year or two ago. Bascially what it boils down to is that some
products, like MS ones, were expressly written to be run on the WinOS
platform only. The license agreement you click "agree" to when installing
may even mention this. Often it's not for limiting the users options but for
solidifying the test base.
If I write a windows app or component I expect it to be run on a WinOS. Just
becuse a user finds some way to tweak something else does not mean it's ok
to use it. To say the least it negates any service agreement and/or
technical support options.
