E sad... Iz prve ruke:
Citat:2b. Number of Users. Except as provided in the Device Connections (all editions), Remote Access
Technologies (Home Basic and Home Premium editions) and Other Access Technologies
(Ultimate edition) sections below, only one user may use the software at a time.
2c. Alternative Versions. The software may include more than one version, such as 32-bit and
64-bit. You may use only one version at one time.
3b. Font Components. While the software is running, you may use its fonts to display and print content. You may only
·
embed fonts in content as permitted by the embedding restrictions in the fonts; and
·
temporarily download them to a printer or other output device to print content
3c. Icons, images and sounds. While the software is running, you may use but not share its
icons, images, sounds, and media.
4. Activation associates the use of the software with a specific device. During activation, the software
will send information about the software and the device to Microsoft. This information includes the
version, language and product key of the software, the Internet protocol address of the device, and
information derived from the hardware configuration of the device. For more information, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69497. By using the software, you consent to the
transmission of this information.
5. The software will from time to time validate the software, update or require download of the
validation feature of the software. Validation verifies that the software has been activated and
is properly licensed. Validation also permits you to use certain features of the software or to
obtain additional benefits.
During a validation check, the software will send information about the software and the device
to Microsoft. This information includes the version and product key of the software, and the
Internet protocol address of the device. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or
contact you. By using the software, you consent to the transmission of this information.
6. POTENTIALLY UNWANTED SOFTWARE. If turned on, Windows Defender will search your
computer for “spyware,” “adware” and other potentially unwanted software. If it finds potentially
unwanted software, the software will ask you if you want to ignore, disable (quarantine) or remove it.
Any potentially unwanted software rated “high” or “severe,” will automatically be removed after
scanning unless you change the default setting. Removing or disabling potentially unwanted
software may result in
·
other software on your computer ceasing to work, or
·
your breaching a license to use other software on your computer.
By using this software, it is possible that you will also remove or disable software that is not
potentially unwanted software.
7a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features described below and in the
Windows Vista Privacy Statement connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems over
the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect. You
may switch off these features or not use them. For more information about these features, see
the Windows Vista Privacy Statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=20615. By
using these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft
does not use the information to identify or contact you.
7b. Use of Information. Microsoft may use the computer information, error reports, and Malware
reports to improve our software and services. We may also share it with others, such as
hardware and software vendors. They may use the information to improve how their products
run with Microsoft software.
No comment. Ja se izvinjavam ako ikoga vredjam ovom konstatacijom, ali po mnogim od ovih tacaka ispada da je Vista spyware.
A ovaj idiotizam je najbolji:
Citat:8. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some
rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you
more rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this
agreement. In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only
allow you to use it in certain ways.
Znaci kupujes licencu, ne Vistu. Microsoft na svaki moguci nacin zadrzava vlasnistvo nad Vistom, tako posle ovoga sledi i:
Citat:You may not
·
work around any technical limitations in the software;
·
use components of the software to run applications not running on the software;
·
make more copies of the software than specified in this agreement or allowed by applicable law,
despite this limitation;
Zatim... Dalje se licenca razlikuje od verzije do verzije. Ali pretpostavljam najjeftinija i najosnovnija verzija Visa Basic ima i ovakva ogranicenja.
Citat:1. DEVICE CONNECTIONS. You may allow up to 5 other devices to access the software installed on
the licensed device to use File Services, Print Services, Internet Information Services and Internet
Connection Sharing and Telephony Services.
4. USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may not use the software installed on the
licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system
Ako se iko od vas i odluci da koristi Vistu, neka mu je bog u pomoci. U medjuvremenu vas pozivam da isprobate alternative dok jos nije kasno.
