"Windows Vista is finally here for everyone and is soon to be made available on store shelves and pre-loaded on new PC's. Windows Vista has been five years in the making; throughout that time we have witnessed Microsoft reschedule the release of this 'major upgrade' over and over and over again. Microsoft, however, throughout that tumultuous time did manage to pick up the pieces and move forward." Read more of the multi-page review at ActiveWin.

"The point he makes. The single point he makes! Is that those words *CAN* be twisted. however Microsoft want. That is the point.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated because you seem unable to make a point. Other than lie. "
I don't know why I am bothering, but here we go.
First, I have not lied, as the EULA does NOT say what I responded to which was your comment that....
"* Microsoft reserves the right to disable and remove any software program running on a system they see fit to judge."
Your answer was to point me to an article that skips over most of the EULA with a lawyers interpretation of the parts he could twist to try for a sensational story. I have read it, at least 4 times. I have also read the EULA, much more then that as I have been watching it through it's first phases. The point here is that neither that article, or subsequent posts have proved your statement. If you truly believe that statement then don't run Windows.
And yes, tired of your personal attacks so I am modding you down for that.

Your repeating yourself. So I'll try to make it clear. The wording is *deliberately* vague, and up for interpretation.
Is English you first language?
So I'll explain if you are a lawyer it is very very likely the reason is not nefarious. Its to cover themselves, but the wording *is* so vague that it covers just about anything. Will this *feature* be misused?
An example would be Microsoft disabling Norton with an update. which it *has*. Was it deliberate or incompetence. I don't care.

I've wasted my time. because you won't put the effort into making a point unlike the article.
There are many many places that examine the EULA detail.
Its taken 4 posts to reach the stage of *it does say that", but he's twisting the words.
The point he makes. The single point he makes! Is that those words *CAN* be twisted. however Microsoft want. That is the point.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated because you seem unable to make a point. Other than lie.
There are only three possibilities.
1) your too lazy to read the post.
2) your being deliberately misleading
3) you don't understand the post.
I would say that you started with doing 1 and have now moved to 2,3
