That is true for the software.  You are sort of "leasing" that.  But
what about the computer?  You *own* that, it is your property.  And MS
believes they have the right to tell me that I can't remove Windows from
it?  *EXCUSE ME?*  That is my property.  I can set the darn thing on fire
if I want.  They have absolutely no place in telling me that I can't
take that copy of Windows off of the computer.
