Vista License Terms relaxed by Microsoft

BetaNews reports that Microsoft has relaxed a little on it’s Vista License Terms after previously stating that users had limitation in installing their new Operating System.

In a previous statement Microsoft announced that the number of times that Windows Vista can be transferred to a new computer is just once in an effort to slay wide-scale piracy.

However today Microsoft has changed its position and relaxed the restriction for retails copies of Vista.

Microsoft attempted to brush off the negative response by saying it was simply updating its licensing terms in Vista to be more clear, noting that Windows XP had the same restriction. But a number of industry pundits and bloggers poked holes in that claim, noting that Microsoft’s own documentation said nothing of the sort.
