Paul W has a valid point in his posting today on Microsoft’s Vista licensing model. I have heard others talk about it previously but the proposed license structure is simply unworkable. Basically the activation strategy has been taken one step further and severly limits the number of times you can change your hardware before forking out for new a Vista license. As Paul says, tell you families, friends and go further, tell the community. No matter what your flavour of OS, this could set an awful and worrying precedent. source: Life is grand ｻ Vista licensing
