If you can read the website, you can read the EULA. If you just click
through it during an install, that's your issue.

We know about the licencing scam. It's a scam. It's highway robbery. EVERY
computer web site says "software", not "licences".

I have a degree in English from the University of Texas Arlington and my
comprehension skills are fine. If you install software without reading
through the EULA then the problem is not comprehension, but reading at all.

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...%3A3951%3A3954


From the same page "You are he Home Page › Electronics › Computers ›

It also states: The purchaser of this *software*.

This page says nothing about a licence

I rest my case. How many Walmart clerks explain anything but "that will be

Seems to me that WalMart is making the XP information quite clear to
anyone that can read. They even provide the link to the System Builders
Site for licensing information!

below is an excerpt copied directly from the WalMart site:

Microsoft XP Pro IS designed for businesses of any size and individuals
upgrading from Windows 98 SE, Me, NT 4.0 or 2000 Professional.

* This OEM version is intended for system builders only and cannot be
transferred to another PC once it is installed. * The purchaser of
this software is required to comply with the terms of the System
Builder license , including the responsibility of providing all end
user support for the software. * includes 2-button mouse

What Alias is getting at is that all web sites, and stores, sell you
software. Don't they all have software departments, T.V. departments,
appliance departments etc.

Yet after they have sold you the "software", they try to tell you that you
have bought a license. Well, people DID NOT buy it in the license
department - did they?

Based upon that fact, and that even Microsoft offers you software downloads
(not license downloads) I think I also am going to begin to state that I OWN
the "software". The license that was in the package is ancillary to the fact
of my purchase, and I don't really have to even read it.

The software is mine, whether I have a license or not!

So, I don't understand you - you find an instance where WalMart, like
other vendors is not providing full disclosure about a product that it
sells, where the product manufacturer does provide this information, and
you still want to slam the Manufacturer? Why are you not going after
WalMart, Sears, and the places that market the manufacturers product
incorrectly?

You've clearly pointed out a flaw in the sales model of many companies,
but not in Microsofts.


Um, Microsoft *licences* these stores to sell their products and you say
Microsoft has nothing to do with the scam? Please, pull the other one, it
has bells on it. Does Microsoft have a store where they say they sell
licences instead of software?

Flaming people for their cultural or educational backgrounds shows
ignorance on your part.


Flaming? LOL! You just can't respond to content. I lived in Austin for seven
years so I know Texans can't speak English properly. Even the Texans admit
they speak Texan, not English.

I have a degree in English from the University of Texas Arlington and my
comprehension skills are fine.


You learned English in The Republic of Texas? No wonder you have a
problem!

If you install software without reading through the EULA then the
problem is not comprehension, but reading at all.


Huh? I didn't say anything about reading or clicking through the scammy
EULA, now did I, sport? Please try to respond to content, not what you
think I typed. Can you do it?

Let me see if I can make it clearer. Go to the web sites of Walmart, Best
Buy, Longhorn Ass Kicking Trailer Park Computers, Sears, whatever, and
try and find a place to click on to buy a licence. You will ONLY find a
place to click on called "software". For some reason, when people click
on that and add XP Home to their shopping cart, they think they are
buying SOFTWARE. Do you understand me now or do you need me to go a
little slower?

If you can read the website, you can read the EULA. If you just click
through it during an install, that's your issue.

Huh? I didn't say anything about reading or clicking through the scammy
EULA, now did I, sport? Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Is
English not your first language? The web sites I was referring to and I
made it clear by typing *computer web sites" say *software*, not
"licences". Yaknow, the ones that sell Microsoft *Software*?

We know about the licencing scam. It's a scam. It's highway robbery.
EVERY computer web site says "software", not "licences".
