Yeah, I`ve been caught by that one recently..the trouble is, I don`t agree with the later EULAs that MS put on their stuff.. and they`re expecting people to pay for it ??
Whatever happened to the law that says products have to be fit for the purpose they`re made for..oh I forgot, the EULA signs away that bit...
I can`t wait to ditch Windows, I`ve had enough. I`ve been using it since the 3.1 days ( you know, when PC`s could quite happily run on 4mb of RAM, and a top of the range gfx card had 512kb on it !!) and all I see is MS making a big balls-up of things, and thinly veiled PR crud trying to hide their greed.
The trouble is, what system do I switch over to for my main workhorse??
Linux? it`s a nice stable OS, but it`s a pain in the neck to keep upto date, or get drivers for new HW.
Mac? expensive HW, and the OS is too idiot proof...(even for an idiot like me.)
OS4 or MorphOS, the lack of memory protection is my main concern,
OS4 has HW available, but the actual OS isn`t out..
MorphOS is out, but there`s no HW for sale...
Maybe I should give up and just use pen and paper ;-)
