Here's a perfect example of my licensing concerns with Vista...
http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/13/v...uter-transfer/

"Microsoft has now taken to limiting the number of times you can transfer your license legitimately to other computers. Unlike Windows XP, which previously allowed for unlimited license transfers between computers, Vista limits this transfer to a single time"

There may come a point at which the hassles for legitimate users are enough to push them in mass towards Linux. I'm considering it myself, except there are still a lot of programs that are still Win-only, like the Sony Reader software. Maybe one alternative is split it at first, i.e. go Vista on a laptop/tablet/umpc and linux with a desktop?
