Re: EULA - glad I chose Linux

ac was all like, you know, and then said something like a ...

I have just chanced on this comment on aspects of the ms eula for vista:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/10/29/microsoft_vista_eula_analysis/

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.

Nicely said.

Get a load of Vista's pricing !!

* Starter (OEM pricing only)
* Home Basic ($199, or $99 upgrade)
* Home Premium ($239, or $159 upgrade)
* Business ($299, or $199 upgrade)
* Enterprise (OEM pricing only)
* Ultimate ($399, or $259 upgrade)

The fools will flock to it. Or, should I say lemmings ?

I make a voluntary donation, from a thankful heart, of at least $50 USD
yearly the distribution of my *choice*. Those poor souls suffer highway
robbery just to have the OS let alone a word processor, AV, etc at
further expense. Then they spend huge portions of their ever passing life
trying to keep MS OS usable between crashes, et al.

OMG!, we've got it made !!
