Were you aware? Vista wants Control!!
(medividea blog) January 30, 2007
Highlights from the Vista user agreement, which comes into force once you choose accept and install the software.
7. This agreement only gives users only a few rights to use the software. All other rights belong to Microsoft.
8. If you do not like Vista’s limitations, Microsoft says in the agreement that “you may not work around any technical limitations in the software.”
9. Microsoft has the right to regularly check the legitimacy of the software (which you paid for) and CAN DELETE certain programs without your knowledge.
10. Microsoft can revalidate the software anytime or it may require you to reactivate it if you make changes to ‘your’ computer components.
11. Microsoft has set significant limits on users’ ability to copy or transfer the
software. It prohibits anything more than a single backup copy and has set strict limits on transferring the software to different devices or users.
12. Only Windows Defender, the much-hyped anti-virus program –will determine
what constitutes unwanted software. That means Microsoft can install Spyware
and Adware with impunity.
13. Vista Content protection only helps Big Media: A computer scientist in New
Zealand found that Vista intentionally degrades the picture quality of premium
content when played on most computer monitors. Microsoft wants you to see that content on TV or bigger, pricier displays.
And Microsoft is based in the United States of America, the home of the free???
