Microsoft Vista EULA spits in the eye of self-builders worldwide

These license terms are an agreement between Microsoft Corporation (or based on where you live, one
of its affiliates) and you. Please read them. They apply to the software named above, which includes
the media on which you received it, if any. The terms also apply to any Microsoft
· updates,
· supplements,
· Internet-based services, and
· support services
for this software, unless other terms accompany those items. If so, those terms apply.

By using the software, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the
software. Instead, return it to the retailer for a refund or credit. If you cannot obtain a refund
there, contact Microsoft or the Microsoft affiliate serving your country for information about Microsoft’s
refund policies. See http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide. In the United States and Canada, call (800)
MICROSOFT or see http://www.microsoft.com/info/nareturns.htm.
As described below, using the software also operates as your consent to the transmission of
certain computer information during activation, validation and for Internet-based services.

If you comply with these license terms, you have the rights below for each license you
acquire.

1. OVERVIEW.
a. Software. The software includes desktop operating system software. This software does not
include Windows Live services. Windows Live is a service available from Microsoft under a
separate agreement.
b. License Model. The software is licensed on a per copy per device basis.
c. Edition Specific Rights. See the Additional License Terms sections at the end of this
agreement for license terms that apply to specific editions of the software.

2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a license, you must assign
that license to one device (physical hardware system). That device is the “licensed device.” A
hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device.
a. Licensed Device. You may install one copy of the software on the licensed device. You may
use the software on up to two processors on that device at one time. Except as provided in the
Storage and Network Use (Ultimate edition) sections below, you may not use the software on any
other device.
b. Number of Users. Except as provided in the Device Connections (all editions), Remote Access
Technologies (Home Basic and Home Premium editions) and Other Access Technologies
(Ultimate edition) sections below, only one user may use the software at a time.
c. Alternative Versions. The software may include more than one version, such as 32-bit and
64-bit. You may use only one version at one time.

3. ADDITIONAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND/OR USE RIGHTS.
a. Multiplexing. Hardware or software you use to
· pool connections, or
· reduce the number of devices or users that directly access or use the software
(sometimes referred to as “multiplexing” or “pooling”), does not reduce the number of licenses
you need.
b. Font Components. While the software is running, you may use its fonts to display and print
content. You may only
· embed fonts in content as permitted by the embedding restrictions in the fonts; and
· temporarily download them to a printer or other output device to print content.
c. Icons, images and sounds. While the software is running, you may use but not share its
icons, images, sounds, and media.

4. MANDATORY ACTIVATION.
Activation associates the use of the software with a specific device. During activation, the software
will send information about the software and the device to Microsoft. This information includes the
version, language and product key of the software, the Internet protocol address of the device, and
information derived from the hardware configuration of the device. For more information, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69497. By using the software, you consent to the
transmission of this information. Before you activate, you have the right to use the version of the
software installed during the installation process. Your right to use the software after the time
specified in the installation process is limited unless it is activated. This is to prevent its unlicensed
use. You will not be able to continue using the software after that time if you do not
activate it. If the device is connected to the Internet, the software may automatically connect to
Microsoft for activation. You can also activate the software manually by Internet or telephone. If
you do so, Internet and telephone service charges may apply. Some changes to your computer
components or the software may require you to reactivate the software. The software will
remind you to activate it until you do.

5. VALIDATION.
a. The software will from time to time validate the software, update or require download of the
validation feature of the software. Validation verifies that the software has been activated and is
properly licensed. Validation also permits you to use certain features of the software or to obtain
additional benefits. For more information, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=39157.
b. During a validation check, the software will send information about the software and the device
to Microsoft. This information includes the version and product key of the software, and the
Internet protocol address of the device. Microsoft does not use the information to identify or
contact you. By using the software, you consent to the transmission of this information. For
more information about validation and what is sent during a validation check, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69500.
c. If, after a validation check, the software is found not to be properly licensed, the functionality of
the software may be affected. For example, you may
· need to reactivate the software, or
· receive reminders to obtain a properly licensed copy of the software,
or you may not be able to
· use or continue to use some of the features of the software, or
· obtain certain updates or upgrades from Microsoft.
d. You may only obtain updates or upgrades for the software from Microsoft or authorized sources.
For more information on obtaining updates from authorized sources see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=69502.

6. POTENTIALLY UNWANTED SOFTWARE. If turned on, Windows Defender will search your
computer for “spyware,” “adware” and other potentially unwanted software. If it finds potentially
unwanted software, the software will ask you if you want to ignore, disable (quarantine) or remove
it. Any potentially unwanted software rated “high” or “severe,” will automatically be removed after
scanning unless you change the default setting. Removing or disabling potentially unwanted
software may result in
· other software on your computer ceasing to work, or
· your breaching a license to use other software on your computer.
By using this software, it is possible that you will also remove or disable software that is not
potentially unwanted software.

7. INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. Microsoft provides Internet-based services with the software. It
may change or cancel them at any time.
a. Consent for Internet-Based Services. The software features described below and in the
Windows Vista Privacy Statement connect to Microsoft or service provider computer systems over
the Internet. In some cases, you will not receive a separate notice when they connect. You may
switch off these features or not use them. For more information about these features, see the
Windows Vista Privacy Statement at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=20615. By using
these features, you consent to the transmission of this information. Microsoft does not
use the information to identify or contact you.
Computer Information. The following features use Internet protocols, which send to the
appropriate systems computer information, such as your Internet protocol address, the type of
operating system, browser and name and version of the software you are using, and the
language code of the device where you installed the software. Microsoft uses this information to
make the Internet-based services available to you.
· Windows Update Feature. You may connect new hardware to your device. Your device may
not have the drivers needed to communicate with that hardware. If so, the update feature
of the software can obtain the correct driver from Microsoft and install it on your device. You
can switch off this update feature.
· Web Content Features. Features in the software can retrieve related content from Microsoft
and provide it to you. Examples of these features are clip art, templates, online training,
online assistance and Appshelp. You may choose not to use these web content features.
· Digital Certificates. The software uses digital certificates. These digital certificates confirm
the identity of Internet users sending X.509 standard encrypted information. They also can
be used to digitally sign files and macros, to verify the integrity and origin of the file
contents. The software retrieves certificates and updates certificate revocation lists over the
Internet, when available.
· Auto Root Update. The Auto Root Update feature updates the list of trusted certificate
authorities. You can switch off the Auto Root Update feature.
· Windows Media Digital Rights Management. Content owners use Windows Media digital
rights management technology (WMDRM) to protect their intellectual property, including
copyrights. This software and third party software use WMDRM to play and copy WMDRMprotected
content. If the software fails to protect the content, content owners may ask
Microsoft to revoke the software’s ability to use WMDRM to play or copy protected content.
Revocation does not affect other content. When you download licenses for protected
content, you agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses. Content
owners may require you to upgrade WMDRM to access their content. Microsoft software that
includes WMDRM will ask for your consent prior to the upgrade. If you decline an upgrade,
you will not be able to access content that requires the upgrade. You may switch off
WMDRM features that access the Internet. When these features are off, you can still play
content for which you have a valid license.
· Windows Media Player. When you use Windows Media Player, it checks with Microsoft for
· compatible online music services in your region;
· new versions of the player; and
· codecs if your device does not have the correct ones for playing content.
You can switch off this last feature. For more information, go to
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=44073.
· Malicious Software Removal/Clean On Upgrade. Before installation of the software, the
software will check and remove certain malicious software listed at
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830 (“Malware”) from your device. When the
software checks your device for Malware, a report will be sent to Microsoft about any
Malware detected or errors that occurred while the software was checking for Malware. No
information that can be used to identify you is included in the report. You may disable the
software’s Malware reporting functionality by following the instructions found at
http://www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830.
· Network Connectivity Status Icon. This feature determines whether a system is connected to
a network by either passive monitoring of network traffic or active DNS or HTTP queries.
The query only transfers standard TCP/IP or DNS information for routing purposes. You can
switch off the active query feature through a registry setting.
· Windows Time Service. This service synchronizes with time.windows.com once a week to
provide your computer with the correct time. You can turn this feature off or choose your
preferred time source within the Date and Time Control Panel applet. The connection uses
standard NTP protocol.
· IPv6 Network Address Translation (NAT) Traversal service (Teredo). This feature helps
existing home Internet gateway devices transition to IPv6. IPv6 is next generation Internet
protocol. It helps enable end-to-end connectivity often needed by peer-to-peer applications.
To do so, each time you start up the software the Teredo client service will attempt to locate
a public Teredo Internet service. It does so by sending a query over the Internet. This query
only transfers standard Domain Name Service information to determine if your computer is
connected to the Internet and can locate a public Teredo service. If you
· use an application (e.g. Windows Meeting Space) that needs IPv6 connectivity or
· configure your firewall to always enable IPv6 connectivity
by default standard Internet Protocol information will be sent to the Teredo service at
Microsoft at regular intervals. No other information is sent to Microsoft. You can change this
default to use non-Microsoft servers. You can also switch off this feature using a command
line utility named “netsh”.
b. Use of Information. Microsoft may use the computer information, error reports, and Malware
reports to improve our software and services. We may also share it with others, such as
hardware and software vendors. They may use the information to improve how their products
run with Microsoft software.
c. Misuse of Internet-based Services. You may not use these services in any way that could
harm them or impair anyone else’s use of them. You may not use the services to try to gain
unauthorized access to any service, data, account or network by any means.

8. SCOPE OF LICENSE. The software is licensed, not sold. This agreement only gives you some
rights to use the software. Microsoft reserves all other rights. Unless applicable law gives you more
rights despite this limitation, you may use the software only as expressly permitted in this agreement.
In doing so, you must comply with any technical limitations in the software that only allow you to use
it in certain ways. For more information, see http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/userights. You
may not

· work around any technical limitations in the software;

· use the software for commercial software hosting services.

9. MICROSOFT .NET BENCHMARK TESTING. The software includes one or more components of
the .NET Framework 3.0 (“.NET Components”). You may conduct internal benchmark testing of
those components. You may disclose the results of any benchmark test of those components,
provided that you comply with the conditions set forth at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=66406. Notwithstanding any other agreement you may have
with Microsoft, if you disclose such benchmark test results, Microsoft shall have the right to disclose
the results of benchmark tests it conducts of your products that compete with the applicable .NET
Component, provided it complies with the same conditions set forth at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=66406.

13. UPGRADES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for
the upgrade. Upon upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software you
upgraded from. After you upgrade, you may no longer use the software you upgraded from.

14. PROOF OF LICENSE.
a. Genuine Proof of License. If you acquired the software on a disc or other media, a genuine
Microsoft proof of license label with a genuine copy of the software identifies licensed software.
To be valid, this label must appear on Microsoft packaging. If you receive the label separately, it
is invalid. You should keep the packaging that has the label on it to prove that you are licensed

c. To identify genuine Microsoft software, see http://www.howtotell.com.

15. REASSIGN TO ANOTHER DEVICE.
a. Software Other than Windows Anytime Upgrade. The first user of the software may
reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device
becomes the “licensed device.”
b. Windows Anytime Upgrade Software. The first user of the software may reassign the
license to another device one time, but only if the license terms of the software you upgraded
from allows reassignment.

16. TRANSFER TO A THIRD PARTY.
a. Software Other Than Windows Anytime Upgrade. The first user of the software may make
a one time transfer of the software, and this agreement, directly to a third party. The first user
must uninstall the software before transferring it separately from the device. The first user may
not retain any copies.
