Windows goes rental

| You might think that, as an individual user, you 
| own the operating system that came on your PC -- 
| but you'd be wrong. You can't sell the Windows 
| that's pre-installed on your PC. You can sell a 
| used copy of Windows, if you bought a copy and 
| then deleted it from your computer. So, for 
| example, if you bought a copy of Windows 7 to 
| upgrade from your old PC's pre-existing Vista, 
| you can't sell that copy of Vista, but you can 
| sell the copy of Windows 7. This is one of the 
| many reasons I prefer desktop Linux.
