» A sneaky change in Windows licensing terms | Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report |


Before you use the software under a license, you must assign that license to one device (physical hardware system). That device is the "licensed device."

Sections 15 and 16, "Reassign to Another Device," and "Transfer to a Third Party," are new. You can go read the exact terms for yourself. The sort version is that you may "reassign the license to another device one time" or "make a one time transfer of the software, and this agreement, directly to a third party." [emphasis added]

That is horrible. I will be making a better effort to stay w/ XP and/or go Linux.
