Leythos you really should just give it up! The OP actually talked
to a MS employee and couldn't get a straight answer out of him. And
why is that? Because MS rather keep the FUD surrounding when
upgrading a computer turns it into another computer by defining it
in the EULA. MS KNOWS if pressed their POST EULA FUD is in no way
enforceable.

What part of "my personal" did you miss - Hell, I even stated your and
Alias's positions of being able to do anything you want.

I've not made a statement as to one or the other being fact in this
thread.

You still talk about the motherboard fantasy as it it is part of the
EULA.

IT IS NOT A PART OF THE EULA! It is only binding on you in your
delusions!

NOT ONE END USER EVER AGREED TO IT!

MS'S MOTHERBOARD NONSENSE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY
AGREEMENT!


You can play lawyer all you want, but the reality is that 'dems with the
bucks make the rules. You want to take MickeyMouse on legally? Good luck!
Even the DOJ couldn't sustain a real challenge to MickeyMouse's illegal
activities. Gates has a war chest in the hundreds of millions of dollars to
do whatever he wants in the legal arena. It's just like the RIAA, when they
decide to slam a file sharer, most just cave in and settle out of court.

The reality is, MickeyMouse can determine what it considers significant
enough hardware changes to prevent a re-activation of the OS and thus force
the end-user to purchase a new license. So EULA at the end doesn't mean
squat. If you want to continue to be a slave of MickeyMouse you are forced
to play by MickeyMouse's rules. That's always the way it's been with MS and
always will be. Get over it! When you get fed up enough, you do have other
options.

Don't know whether you ever read chapter 7, but maybe you should ...

Microsoft tells you to go, period."
