So much for home-built computers, at least with Vista...

    Yes, which is apparently the point of the changes to the wording in the Vista EULA; making those terms more clear.

    It's also clear that MS thinks those restrictions are fair.

      I'd like to get an interpretation from someone other than Thurrott. A bigger MS fanboy has probably never existed. He even found a way to make it his own fault when his legitimate XP install decided it was pirated.
      Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

        Yeah, I tend to take anything he says with a grain of salt until I see it confirmed elsewhere, but in this case he seems to be speaking something of the truth. I still question some of the things he went over, however, I'm sure we'll hear more about this once Vista is released (and likely prior).

        And yes, the whole situation with him conveniently (for MS' image) learning he was using a pirated copy of Windows was amusing.
