IT IS STILL DEBATEABLE as Win 2000 pro was SOLD - not leased and EU law differs from the US interpretation |

I'm afraid you are very mistaken. It was LICENSED for one machine NOT sold.
The COA might not even work on another machine. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNN. HH "DCA" wrote in message ... "HH" wrote in message ... Illegal. HH "DCA" wrote in message ...

You are very tiresome - you can't even be original in your expression. blocked I do not know about the sharpest pencil in the box, but..... Top Posting is very annoying, and what ever you say, it is against Usenet custom, makes a thread very difficult to follow and just plain bad manners. A thread where everyone has top posted is difficult to read because it is out of chronological sequence; I have to read your reply before I can read what the hell you are writing about. Or are your comments much more important than your those to which you are responding? A thread where most people have followed custom and bottom posted and just a few know-alls have top posted, is impossible to follow. It is like the American style of writing dates or the thread above, impossible to follow. I make no comment about the legality and enforceability of Licences that restrict the running of software to only one machine. I am not qualified, and as far as I know it is not totally determined, yet. However, American law does not take precedence over EU and national law in EU countries. A Licence written in America may say one thing and has a given meaning in America, if it is sold in the UK, for instance, it may have a different meaning in the UK and some provisions may not be enforceable. In fact I, as the Licensee may have the right to force the Licenser, in law, to do something different (Unfair provisions). This is why Microsoft are in negotiation with the EU about their licences. The consequences of those negotiations may not be entirely in favour of Microsoft or the consumer. -- Nicholas David Richards - "Oł sont les neiges d'antan?" |

Whilst I'm sure it was not for my benefit, I appreciate the support and time taken. I have read very similar on regular occasions and if 'Tom' the self proclaimed knowitall had bothered any sort of research he would have reached the same conclusion. I did not have the patience to post such as response in the circumstances as I was being abused! Now that your post has revealed that imbecile HH's response I am justfurther exasperated having read his response to my post on the BIOS. Seeing as Compaq produce a windows BIOS interface that actually prevents F10 BIOS access upon boot-up I thought it may be useful (it works on my EVO N800W anyway) - but there you go; I guess he knows better than this practitioner - I must be a 'blunt' pencil. I guess I must be a guy too (presumption) D |

So in other words, you're not posting the EULA for fear you will be proven wrong and you're diverting attention to a non-issue that was established as a recommendation and nothing more in the early days of the internet prior to broadband. I still maintain you're a pompous ass |
