Freedom of choice should allow one to purchase the OS and install as preferred, within the license requirements. I've been denied that individual right. What freedoms are you referring to? M$ as a proprietary vendor give me the freedom to make choices on hardware, what choice do I have with MAC? A case of technology totalitarianism. * *
You had the freedom of choice not to buy it, just like the manufacture had a freedom of choice to sell a system pm specific hardware... you couldnt do a simple search before buying on whether it can be installed on any other computer ? You sound like the guy who I met at the airport once who was trying to take a flight to America. He was not allowed to board the plane because he didnt have a visa. I remember him threatening to sue the airline because they hadnt told him a visa was required when he bought the ticket !
