[ILUG] It's "illegal" to remove Windows from your PC !!

[ILUG] It's "illegal" to remove Windows from your PC !!

Quoting Matt Rudge (mrudge at hcs.ie):

>> Please cite the statute.  EU, Ireland, or other.
> 
> No statute - it's just that M$ want there to be.  There was an article
> about this on The Register way back in Dec 2000:

Yes, I read that.

And I'm continually amazed that people assume that something must be
illegal for no better reason than Microsoft Corporation alleging on a
Web site that such is the case.  People, they _lie_, frequently and with 
wild abandon.

Cheers,      "Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first
Rick Moen     woman she meets, and then teams up with three complete strangers
rick at linuxmafia.com       to kill again."  -- Rick Polito's That TV Guy column,
              describing the movie _The Wizard of Oz_
