Spooky Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 (edited) After the recent flurry of negative feed back concerning the Vista EULA that limited the license to one install and then one transfer for a total of two before a new license was required MS has changed the EULA to something a little more realistic:http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=166 Edited November 2, 2006 by Spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saugatak Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 This is good news. M$ did the right thing.The prior restrictive Vista license hurt the enthusiasts community who are always upgrading chips, motherboards and graphics cards and that's the wrong community to alienate.If DX10 is great and the gamers love it, that's what will drive sales of Vista.

what3v3r Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 if the rest of the EULA has not been changed, it is still not allowed to copy the DVD to the HDD, and connect to the OS via remote dektop (the ultimate edition being the exception in both cases).

Spooky Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 "copy the DVD to the HDD"; Where does it say that at, I didn't see it. In fact the license says that you can make a back up copy and doesn't specify how that copy is done, so a copy to the hard drive would be a back-up. if the rest of the EULA has not been changed, it is still not allowed to copy the DVD to the HDD, and connect to the OS via remote dektop (the ultimate edition being the exception in both cases).
