I suspect, although I am not sure, that some of them (?) get Vista for free.
I just don't think that this approach is justifiable.
Earlier today I saw an article from the Inquirer Editor in Chief where he
blames DRM for this. I am tempted to believe that he totally confuses WGA
and DRM, which would make him look like a fool. He argues that apart from
the reboots, data will be /LOST/ as well.
