Windows XP Service Pack 2 heads to retail

Yes, the CD is yours.: But not the software on it. You don't buy
Windows - you liscense the right to use it
according to the EULA. I bet you never bothered
to read it, either, did ya?

When you buy a Windows CD, about $1.50 goes to
pay for the CD and packaging. The resy pays for
what? The liscence key. That is it. You don't
own squat. Microsoft owns YOU.; Posted by: catlord17 Posted on: 10/07/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
