EULA ? SPAM ? COMMUNISM ? DEMOCRACY ? 2006-11-21

This issue is similar to the battle against spam, which we seem to be loosing. If no-one ever purchased anything from spammers, it would become unprofitable and die off. If no-one bought Vista, I have no doubt M$ would change their EULA to be a little more "user friendly."

This issue is also similar to the way communism and democracy evolves over time. Each eventually becomes more similar with the other. In this case, as Linux gets easier and easier to use, Windows gets harder and harder. Wake up M$ or suffer from you own demise.
