I have just chanced on this comment on aspects of the ms eula for vista:

and I am further reassured that I chose to start using linux a few
years ago. It did take a little effort to move into unfamilar
territory, but boy, it was worth it. I would be pretty nauseated to
have to rely on an eula like that.


Link did not work for me. But WinXP made me so made a few months ago
when I built a new PC and WinXP off hard drive refused to boot because
it said I had too much different hardware from when WinXP was
originally installed. And I heard MS-Vista will only let you change
motherboards once. I have had it with MS WIndows as much as I can do
without it, I am ready to take it off my dual boot system of my main
PC, just keep it dual boot on my laptop for occasional use as needed
(rare).
