Good News

| | Comments (0)

This is good news.  I built my own desktop system and I continue to upgrade it by component to this day.  While I've had "my computer" since about 1998 or so, the only original desktop component is the case (and I've been thinking about getting a new one lately, anyway).

When I heard that MS was planning on only allowing one license transfer for Vista, that had me a bit concerned.  After all, Windows XP lasted about six or seven years before this latest version, and I don't expect Vista to be shorter.  I would basically only get one major system component switch, under the original license, and then I could be locked out.  Bad news when I would like to (and working full time again would have the money to) upgrade major components every couple years.

Now, it looks I can breathe easy.  Microsoft actually listened to the outcry and I can let go a breath of relief.  My PC gaming will not be abnormally jeopardized.  Just the usual jeopardy of whether I have enough budget to feed my habit.
