Re: [PLUG] Interesting thread on SEUL-EDU mailing list...


Also note that MS tried to sue some people who had bought new computers
and decided to sell the copies of windows that came with them.  (They
lost!).

Now they have another plan, instead of giving you a windows CD, they are
having most of the computer makers have a copy of the installation files
on a "Backup partition" on the hard drive of the computer you buy.
