In the case STATE OF NEW YORK, et al., Plaintiffs v. MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Defendant. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Civil Action No. 98-1233 (CKK) The court found Microsoft liable for violating two provisions of the Sherman act. Again they were not "convicted" Again they were not even accused of being a monopoly. The product sold to the customer in your motherboard case and I suspect the one you are using are labled "not for resale". I am using the full retail version. The EULA on my drive has the transfer information in section 13. So yet another version of the EULA this one is even different from the hard copy that came with the product.. Seems I remember you saying "people only hear what they want to hear" Let me try prose or an extended metaphore following your example and I do hope it is as clear as yours were. Fedora is a bird that sings in the forest while Windows is a stable operating system.
