Tue, Jan 30th 10:22am 2007: Linux
A few days ago Dan Shearer (a Linux Australia member now living in Scotland) told me about a talk he did for the Scottish Society for Computers about the implications of Vista licencing. The handout for his talk included some very interesting points so I asked him to put it online for reference. Definitely worth a look if you're in a position of advising clients on issues relating to upgrades to Vista: there's some nice ammunition in there to support switching to an alternative instead. The crunch point is basically that for companies with contracts such as non-disclosure agreements already in place it may actually be a direct breach of those agreements to consent to the Vista licencing terms. http://shearer.org/VistaForLawyers
