Responding to the myriad complaints over ambiguities and outright uncool (that's a technical term) licensing terms, Microsoft has revised the Vista retail license to remove some of the most major causes of complaint. A previous version of the Windows Vista retail license restricted the number of times you may transfer Vista from one device to another. The license read: "The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the 'licensed device'." The new license has removed this language relating to device transfers.

I am very happy they finally saw the light and changed the EULA. I build my own systems and always changing stuff around and upgrading parts. Glad they saw the light as I was not going to purchase Vista with that in effect. Very happy as I very much like Vista and now am looking forward to buying a copy or two.
