MSFT *Revises Vista EULA* for hdw today

I wonder how those who thought we are bandits are feeling now.

They now enjoy the same sweet fruit from our "bashing" without paying any
efforts except bashing us.




They now enjoy the same sweet fruits

Hello,

You can thank Microsoft for it has been listening to customers.

But I'm not with the company and chose not to have any association with it.

In any case, glad you're happy now.

See - a simple change got another happy customer.

I still wonder how those knights are feeling now.

Not really. This is an ancient strategy: demand a whole lot more than
you really want, then when people scream you relent on everything except
what you wanted all along. The rubes are still left holding something
unpleasant, but they're happy now because they think you care.

Yes, that's part of ancient old "negotiation strategy".

But is it also good for motivating the other party for correcting mistakes?

I think so So for that, I'd thank the company only because it has
corrected the mistake.

And better yet, change WGA N practice, and I'll thank it again, even though
I know it shouldn't have done it in the first place.

LOL, reminds me of Scotty from Start Trek, he would always say it would
take him longer than normal to get the engines back online to make
himself look good to Kirk.

I don't know exactly what this means but my three concerns (shared by a lot
of people) in the original EULA were that many of us who like to upgrade hdw
and correlate it with software and build a box would have been restricted;
my other concern has been the cost of Vista to families that might have
needs for several, and that the Kill Switch aka SPP would make mistakes and
shut down people who need to earn a living with their computers as WGA has
been doing.

I am not sure what sweet fruit, bashing, and paying efforst means exactly so
maybe you could help me with the concepts.

Sweet fruit: MS has revised Vista EULA.

Bashing: Perceived by knights for those, myself included, who have been
crying out loud for EULA changes.

Paying efforts: They did not join us, instead, they condemned us and framed
us as pirates and MS haters.
