Milly,

I have read his question. I am quoting from the EULA relevant to Students and Teachers. I have also
given you a link which you (AND OTHERS) can read and verify what I am saying. The site I am quoting is
non other than Microsoft's. Check this this link again and stop giving false information toMicrosoft's
customers. Double check your sources before you open your mouth again. I have done a quick check on
this NG and it appears that recently you have abused many bonafide users of this Newsgroup.

The file in question is: en_student_eula.pdf

It can't be any clearer. I SHALL CONTINUE CORRECTING YOUR POST IF YOU CONTINUE GIVING INCORRECT AND
IRRESPONSIBLE ADVICE ON A PUBLIC NEWSGROUP. MICROSOFT'S CUSTOMERS ARE ENTITLED TO GET FACTUALLY CORRECT
INFORMATION ON THIS NEWSGROUP.

Thank you.
