Link: TheStar.com - Business - Vista's legal fine print raises red flags.
If it seems like I am on a campaign against Vista, perhaps I am. Never have so many been asked to pay so much for so little. I realize that we all will be stuck with Vista when we upgrade our current computers, as OEMs will likely only be selling computers with Vista pre-installed. However, this article highlights the problems with Microsoft taking greater control of the operating system, even after it is purchased, and the legal strictures are chilling. Aside from a pretty interface, and allegedly better security, Vista doesn't do anything better than XP, and, it can be argued that Mac OSx and Linux do both better. I am sticking with XP, which I finally, after 5 years, feel comfortable with, and I will likely keep it until the cows come home.
