I’m very pleased to let you know you this morning that the Windows division has revised the retail license terms for Windows Vista in a significant way. “You may uninstall the software and install it on another device for your use. You may not do so to share this license between devices.”
For enthusiasts and hardware reviewers, this is a huge deal. This gives us the ability to install our copy of Vista on any computer we own, as long as it’s one at a time. So, if someone swaps out for a new motherboard, they can rightfully reinstall the OS. It’s about time Microsoft has taken a fresh look at this problem. Now for some bad… this website has taken a good look at the EULA for Vista, and noticed a few interesting points.
