Pissed Off

Much better than being pissed on.

Um. No. Pissing is beyond kinky. Shitting on the other hand...

Well my point about the kinky comment was just playing around no point there, my point in my original post is basically the new activation, anti-copy, anti-multiple installation, crap that software developers are coming up with is eventually going to affect us all, not just me and my situation, and I know I'm not the only one dual booting operating systems here at this forum.

The software company I'm dealing with at the time is determined I'm going to purchase a 2nd license now, to continue using their software period, even though I've told them I would only use the software on 1 hardrive now since they have a problem with me running 2 independent hardrives, but until I purchase a 2nd license, even though I paid for the original software, I can't use it, and I don't think thats right or fair. They're stating their claims on the original license agreement, which I have a copy of that doesn't say a thing about having more than 1 hardrive in the computer I'm using.

I,m basically posting this because I believe we're all going to see tougher software restrictions even in the day to day software we use, but the software companies are going to have to rewrite their license agreements, because I could have partitioned 1 hardrive and still ran 2 operating systems on 1 hardrive, so where would their claims be then, the software is still installed on 1 computer, but on 2 operating systems. The license agreement doesn't state at all that you have to purchase a separate license for each operating system you're running, if you're running more than 1 on 1 computer, and want the software on each one.

Does that explain the point I was trying to make, or were you just hacking on me?

Both.

Personally, I think that if YOU buy software, YOU should be able to use it on ANY of your computers... As long as you are only using it on one at a time... Let's say you have a laptop and a desktop... You can use it on both at the same time, but most of the time you won't. So you should be able to install Office (for example) on both machines and just use it on one at a time. But that is my opinion.

I'd rather be at Wrigley Field!

Personally, I don't hate M$. If Linux supported more games, I would try it.
