Everything is licensed. Even bread. You have to give it back one day via the toilet or the grave.
- jasomill 14y agoYou don't need to buy hardware with this; the quoted "OEM" price and part number are retail (compare with Amazon, for instance). It is locked to a single PC like traditional OEM products, however, and doesn't include media. The ordinary retail package is transferable, can be installed on two PCs at the same time, and includes a DVD.
- eckyptang 14y agoYou can transfer the oem stuff - just phone them to activate it.
- pbhjpbhj 14y ago>Everything is licensed. Even bread. // I'm largely with you WRT philosophy of 'ownership'. However in the current legal framework this is wrong and I strongly disprove of the thrust by companies to force more sold products to be treated as licensed - thus for example preventing resale, [non-copyright infringing] sharing and the like. I consume bread I don't give it back in a materially unaltered way.
