David Beats Goliath


Microsoft finally bows to the little guy:
Microsoft has backed down over a controversial clause in Windows Vista licensing that would have restricted the ability of users to reinstall their copy of the operating system if they upgraded or changed their PC.

Under Windows XP licensing terms, users are able to uninstall and reinstall their copy of the operating system for their own use an unlimited number of times by entering the re-activation key code each time.

But Microsoft's initial licensing terms for Vista, which will be released on 30 November, had proposed users would only be able to reinstall the operating system once before having to purchase another copy.

No, I have no idea if that's the "real" wallpaper that comes with Microsoft Vista®, but its the image I found.
