Default using windows on two computers



What does it exactly say on the box? Stand at the check out counter
at
your WalMart and ask every person if they think they own what they
just
bought! MS's retail software is "shrinkwrap licensed, never been
legally proven to be a software license on private individuals!


It says " The product uses technolological measures for copy protection-you
will not be able to use the product if you do not fully comply with the
product activation procedures. Product activation procedures and Microsoft's
privacy statements will be described during the launch of the product. For
installation and use on one computer (see License Agreement for license
terms). You must accept the enclosed License Agreement before you can use
this product. If you do not accept the terms of the License Agreement, you
should promptly return the product for a refund."
Are the people at the check out stand stupid, uninformed or misled by what
they read or what they were told was accepatable if they think they have the
right to install on multilpe computers? It has to be one of the preceding,
because it is clearly defined on the outside of the box it is for use on one
computer per license
