Looks like the legal department will be working overtime to find a new wording while still shafting users as much as possible.
Personally, I've never really understood how I can buy a $20,000 car and mod it as I like, but if I buy a $400 DVD I have to treat it as a museum piece.
If it's a sale, it is mine to do as I wish, and if I want to resell it, then I will.
And if it is not a sale, then I have the right to a free replacement disk for the rest of my life.
So, MS, what is it actually ?

I love it, MS got caught in it's own legal web.

Quote, " It pointed to Microsoft's End User Licence Agreement (EULA), which states "the product is licensed, not sold." It said that revenues from software licences are royalties, not sales."

It looks like India has a good point, hehe.


they sold the disk and then the license to it. the Indian government wants to be like that i say sell a piece of paper with a working key but don’t fork over the disk then when they say ok no tax start selling the disk again and make the key only work with its specified disk that should show them to shut there trap. But since this is MS who cares they already make a load off of other countries.
