One users frustration at being told he must read something he has no access to.

Sort of like the pot calling the kettle black.

For years we've taken one copy of an OS, and put it on many machines - we've done the same with applications.

G-d forbid a vendor should try to protect their rights - although Dell is a tad on the "duh" side by not providing the EULAs.

Most users, it seems, want a free-ride - they'll pay $20,000/$30,000/or more for a car, yet g-d forbid they can not use their $55/$95/$195/$495 program on all the machines they want!

I'll never understand it... [yy]
