Not really sure where the best place is to put this... please move it if it needs to be..
I just downloaded and decided to give the Windows Media Player 9 a try. And, since I'm dealing with Microsoft, I gave the EULA a quick read. Not far down (after all the "you will be here on now known as the USER...etc,etc,etc") There read a part saying that you cannot use this software (being WMP 9) if you do not have a valid licenced copy of Windows. And by installing WMP 9, it gives MS the right to check your computer and OS to see if it is a valid license. Well, I stopped right there. Hit decline and said enough of that.
Has anyone else read this? Whether my OS is licenced or not is illrelevant. What is, is that MS thinks they have a right to make a piece of software that will (what sounds like) kill the OS if it is not licenced.
Any thoughts?
