An explanation of Microsoft's new licensing model (from a person that likes Microsoft software... but not their licensing). Read it and weep. Specially interesting is the situation they got in which they had to pay a license for the new Office (XP) simply to be able to run Office 2000.... which they had already purchased!!

Truly insane. Forcing people to pay for a product they don't use, but rather simply to continue using the one they have already purchased from you.
