You would have to be nuts to buy Vista

[cool2bme]

Hi ... My understanding is with Vista we are only allow to transfer this operating system to another computer once ? If this is the case ? Then I feel Microsoft is screwing the consumers , I don't believe I will be buying Vista , You would have to be nuts to buy Vista under those conditions

The OEM version of Win XP doesn't even allow one transfer, and any one that would buy a retail version is nuts so anyone with a OEM copy of Win XP has been living with this for 4 years anyway.

There will come a time when you don't have a choice whether or not you buy Vista.

Win XP will no longer be supported or updated.

The new question isn't' whether or not you buy Vista, it is when will you buy Vista and live with the restrictions MS imposes on you!

You could use Linux or buy a Mac but the hardware and software restrictions on those platforms far out weigh the copy protection of Vista.
