Need More Proof That Microsoft is Fucked Up?
Now this is funny.
Compulsory Windows: for Macs, and people without PCs?
John Lettice, The Register
Microsoft has come up with another novel way to make its software compulsory - an annual subscription licensing system for schools where you have to pay for all of the computers you’re using, even if you don’t want them to run the Microsoft software you’re licensing. This includes Macs, and although the Ts & Cs of the agreement don’t make it entirely clear what you’re supposed to do with the Windows upgrades you end up buying for these machines, we bet putting them on E-bay isn’t a recommended option.
Read the whole story for some real fun ‘n’ games from the MS licensing department.
