Window’s planning to Screw its buyers?

Obviously some people thought this was the case when Windows released the new licensing plan for the new operating system on the horizon Vista. The plan was to have your boxed copy of vista only able to run on one machine, not transferable. I don’t know how they thought they were going to slip that in there without anyone noticing.

As soon as word got out (not Microsoft Word you silly reader you) there was an out cry of complaints. Well, needless to say Microsoft backed off of it’s position and is now allowing you to put windows on multiple machines granted you remove it from the last one you used.

Microsoft says "We're trying to be really clear about our intention to prevent piracy," said Microsoft product manager Mike Burk. "At the same time, after listening to the feedback that came in, (we) felt that we needed to make this change."

I feel that sometimes we forget how much power we the consumer has to get things changed, even in “Big Bad Microsoft”. And if you want to read more on this you can find it on http://news.com.com/Microsoft+backtracks+on+Vista+transfer+limits/2100-1016_3-6131900.html?tag=nefd.lede
