erbic Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Pfft, they'll find a way... In the meantime I'll just keep making new VMs with my copy of RTM.

Urbz Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 they don't have to find any way... they aren't blocking anything, just legislating that you can't do it. There are no technological barriers to be overcome. And why do they think this'll matter? If we're running Windows on our Macs, we won't be doing it legally anyways. Does Microsoft actually think I'm gonna BUY Vista? I dont even run Windows!!!
