Bah. If I have to reinstall, I have ended the use of that instance, and
I still have one instance.
you only own vista for one instance of installation
Given the quality of vista and the need to likely reload it several
times during its usable lifetime, this is either wrong, or purely evil.
reformats as ser the license agreement require you re-purchase a Vista
instance
Can you show me a cite for that? I'd love to have that in MS's own
words.
Hows that for Gouging? IF i run afoul of that issue with M$ i will be
abandining their OS for PC's (I already have for servers)
I switched to Mac shortly after they went to Unix. Haven't looked back.
I maintain 1500+ servers at work, last thing I want to do at home is
dick around with a balky computer.
