		<description><![CDATA[George Ou at ZDNet reports, based on an Arstechnica article, that Windows Vista Upgrade Edition will not permit &#8220;clean installs.&#8221; For years, just to make sure we have completely clean installations, we have been able to boot an upgrade CD, insert our valid previous Windows CD to validate it, and then install Windows (95, 98, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[TechRepublic.com has a great article about Microsoft&#8217;s most recent fiasco with the Vista Release Candidate 1 version. It seems that the Media Center features stopped working on December 31st because it only licensed the MPEG-2 encoding technology until December 31st. Those Vista beta users who decide to continue to trust Microsoft for media center functions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kind of hard to believe, isn&#8217;t it? The Windows Vista interface is the number one eye-candy item in Vista &#8212; and the only visible effect of upgrading that most people will see. InfoWorld has an article that kind of takes Microsoft to task for such a blatant non sequitur. I say &#8220;kind of&#8221; since the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ZDNet columnist Ed Bott reports that Microsoft has changed its planned EULA for Windows Vista retail purchases (not OEM copies) to allow transfer to other machines for your own use.  Of course, you have to remove the copy from your old computer &#8212; you don&#8217;t get to use it on multiple machines. Good move, Microsoft. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft&#8217;s Windows Vista Blog has pictures of the new packaging designed for Windows Vista and Office 2007. They even have some kind (and strange) words for the packaging. Unfortunately, they seem to be the only ones praising it. When I read the first few comments about it on other blogs, I thought those people were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Open your pocketbook! Microsoft&#8217;s EULA for Windows Vista allows one transfer of a retail copy of Windows Vista to a new machine. Of course, an OEM copy (now referred to differently) will not be transferrable to a different computer &#8212; and it never was legally according to the licenses. Unfortunately, Microsoft has been taking steps [...]]]></description>
