Here's the part I like:
"Beginning with Windows XP, Microsoft instituted
a System-Locked Preinstallation System. The new
OEM Activation process that kicks off with Vista
improves upon that by ensuring that Windows Vista
SKUs licensed to an OEM function only on that OEM's hardware.
But this means customers and their system
builders and solution providers must maintain
recovery media for each OEM's system configuration."
That's fair. MS makes most of the money on a
Windows OS sale, yet offloads more and more of
the work to it's so called "partners." Don't
they understand that if they make it painful
enough to sell Windows, they'll force resellers to sell Linux and OSX?
