"Get this, Vista only allows 2 installs, then its time to pony up more cash. "

And what happens when four and more cores happen with virtual machines?? How many copies do you buy then?

Quit BSing yourselves, Vista isnt that different that WinXP, Quit reading all the FUD and BS...

DAILYTECH: Despite the buzz on the Internet(s), Vista licensing will be similar to XP

[Quit BSing yourselves, ]

From your article:

"Since you can't transfer a copy of Windows that comes with a new PC anyway, less than 10 percent of all Windows licenses are transferable at all. And of those, only a tiny percentage of users have ever tried to even transfer a Windows license once. The only people that really need to do this regularly are hardcore PC enthusiasts who change their machine configurations regularly.."

But wait, I am a hardcore PC professional who regularly reconfigures. So, I guess what you are saying is that anyone really into computing should blow off Microsoft. Thanks for the advice.

Actually, it looks like Vista is going to be "buy once, transfer once"
