Quick Important Fact About Windows Vista

  1. Vista is designed to restrict what you can do (DRM)
  2. Even when you legally buy Vista, you don’t own it
  3. If your copy of Vista came with the purchase of a new computer, that copy of Vista may only be legally used on that machine, forever
  4. If you bought Vista in a retail store and installed it on a machine you have already owned, you have to completely delete it on that machine before you can install it on another machine
