Re: Windows XP License

I am sure most would prefer a more lenient licensing policy.
That does not only go for Microsoft but any licensed software.
Because of the terms, I have more $ invested on my computers that I would
have liked to spend elsewhere.
But like everyone else, I had a choice and I made it.
The creators set the licensing terms and it is up to the buyer to accept the
terms or not.
If the terms are unacceptable, there are alternatives and some of them are
free.
No one is forced to buy any operating system.

Does any one else think it sucks that if you pay $200 for a full copy of
Windows XP you can only load it on one computer and have to pay for
additonal
licenses for other personal computers that you own? These are personal PCs
not company owned.
