Vista Licenses Limit OS Transfers, Ban VM Use
NiK0laI writes "TechWeb has posted an article regarding Vista's new license and how it allows you to only move it to another device once. How will this work for people who build their PCs? I have no intention of purchasing a new license every time I swap out motherboards. 'The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the "licensed device," reads the license for Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, and Business. In other words, once a retail copy of Vista is installed on a PC, it can be moved to another system only once. ... Elsewhere in the license, Microsoft forbids users from installing Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium in a virtual machine. "You may not use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system," the legal language reads. Vista Ultimate and Vista Business, however, can be installed within a VM.'"
Overly Critical Guy points out more information about changes to Vista's EULA and the new usage restrictions. "For instance, Home Basic users can't copy ISOs to their hard drives, can't run in a virtualized environment, and can only share files and printers to a maximum of 5 network devices."
So I'm driving home from work yesterday, when on the radio blares some commercial that tells you to "Fight the nation's #1 disease: Obesity with...blah blah blah." Then I got thinking to myself, Wait a second, Obesity isn't a disease, it's just fat people.
Well, I'm here to tell, as a man who carries a little more weight than usual, Obesity is not a fucking disease! Stop blaming other people because you are an enormous tub of shit! It's not a disease! It's not! I can't tell you enough!
You know what a disease is? It's Cancer, Melanoma, Lukemia, etc. Not being a lard ass. Also, there is no such thing as a weight loss pill. Sorry, you want to lose weight? Stop eating at KFC every fucking day! Stop chowing down on candy all the time! Stop drinking sugary soda! Go walk around a bit! There's your cure you fat piece of shit!
Okay, maybe I'm being a little harsh. No. I want to go on a killing spree every time I hear a lawsuit against McDonalds because some fat fuck wants money for being a fat fuck. Maybe you should lay off of the Egg McMuffins fatboy!
And it's never the slightly overweight people (such as myself) that say obesity is a disease, it's the people that are the size of a house that say this, as they force feed themselves fried chicken and hershey's chocolate bars.
I think what pisses me off though, are people who are so fucking fat that they are confined to a wheelchair! Arrrrrrr! I hate these people! Get your fat ass off of your Rascal Scooter and walk! How do you expect to lose weight in a wheelchair? Save the rascal scooter for someone who has a real disease.
I guess Tyra Banks did some study the other day where she wore a fat suit just to see what it's like to be fat for a day, and she said she got tons of dirty looks from people, and others staring an so on. Well duh! Thank you Tyra for your contribution to the world, now go back to being a model and not caring about dick. So Tyra discovered that being a mound of man blubber is embarrassing and people are cruel. Whoopedy fucking doo, give her the nobel peace prize.
I myself am a little on the chubby side, I know, but you will never hear me say it's McDonald's fault, or KFC's fault, etc. It's my fault, I know, I don't work out because I don't like exercise, I don't go on diets because I like food too much, and I don't complain because I bring on this chubbiness myself. I'm the only one to blame.
Damn, I should be president. Later fatboys
