What does that mean, MEB?
Compared to what?
Compared to nothing.

That paragraph stands on it's own, and it's meaning or implications do
not require it to be "compared" to something else.

It means that someone can sell or give away a computer that has
windows-98 installed on it, and they can do so legally, and the person
recieving the computer can legally purchase, accept, operate or
otherwise use the computer along with the windows 98 operating system
installed on it.

You have claimed that only the original purchaser of the computer is
legally entitled to use the installed operating system (ie win-98) and
if they sell or give away the computer that they must remove the OS
because it can't be transfered to another owner of the hardware. The
above paragraph allows exactly that, and proves you wrong.

You're using the standard Eula, show me that agreement you
and that supposed business you work for have regarding your
"seat" cost and disposal.
That is of no consequence to this point I'm addressing.

And we have no agreement in place with MS that I'm aware of at this
point anyways. And even if we did, it wouldn't stop me from installing
any MS product onto any or as many machines as I care to do, which I
have done numerous times, in blatant and complete disregard to their
EULA, which I **** on and laugh at, and which I advocate others do as
well.
That is of every importance, THAT EULA is not what controls activities
held under more constrictive agreements, such as "seat" and disposal...

That you don't understand that is obvious, that you: attempt to bring
others into a criminal enterprise [you installing illegal OSs on other's
systems]; have complete disregard for the harm and damage you may cause
to the business you purport to work for; are willing to *publicly* post
your willingness to engage in criminal activity and blatant attempts to
cause others to do so as well; and the other which you have spewed
repeatedly, shows one distinct thing. You are a blatant criminal without
any regard for the harm and damage you may cause to others. That's ZERO!!!
Moreover, it displays you have the mentality of an 8 year old, well
maybe 6, and are a very bad little boy.
I hope your employer reads this and fires you... and then your
prosecuted... to bad you're not in one of those nations that still cut
off hands, or cane, or worse.

Of course we ALL already knew that you were a fool, and a criminal...
now go back to that rock where you crawled out from.

I do agree with 98 guy to a point,
He did clearly show that a system can be transferred to another party.

I really think 98guy is kidding on the other part and you took him
seriously. Referring to part about him using the same copy on
multiple machines. With that type of childish comment you said to
98guy and me (In another thread) you really expect me to believe you?

Get a life Greg, and READ the copyright link I previously provided...
what 98 Guy said, in a group of previous postings, is preserved there...
he means EVERY part of what he says regarding illegal usage and STEALING
software. He has made those statements since DAY ONE in this group.

Do I care what YOU believe? No.. You continue to proceed in a manner
similar to 98 Guy,,, apprised of what actually IS the Law, and the
DEFINING aspects which ARE relevant, you nonetheless, refuse to accept
it because it conflicts with what you WISH to occur.

What I care about is what others are apprised of, and violating the Law
is not something I will condone or further.
