What has piracy got to do with it?
This new policy does not affect anyone who has the old EULA as they
have not been given an opportunity to agree to it.



What new policy?

Microsofts new change of the EULA. According to them, a motherboard
constitutes a new pc. This change was made recently (website reports go
back to mid-february). MS sent out a memo to partners to inform them of the
change.

Carey is not being an arse about this, it seems it is true and it is MS who
are being the arse.

However as I said in previous posts (2 of them from yesterday have not shown
up for some reason) this will not affect those who have the old EULA. It
would never stand up in court as its not what they agreed to when they
installed the OS.
I only bought my XP this week and its not in my EULA so obviously I
purchased older stock good for me :-)
