Can someone explain this to me in English? The point I'm troubled about is it seems to indicate Microsoft will limit what you can run on your PC. Say I want to run shareware, freeware, or emulation, they could say **** you, that isn't acceptable, you can't run it on your PC. They could also use something like WGA to monitor your OS for cracks and disable it and cancel your license if you break their EULA in this arrangement, and I'm supposed to be cool with that?

Telling people what they can run on their PCs?

I hope not, its just my father and others have discussed the idea a number of years ago, and the concept scares me about potentially losing the ability to choose what software and hardware I can put on my equipment.

I've been running XP on my PC for a bit over a year with no issues while keeping it updated, but at some point I will install a hard drive and reformat the Win XP partition as it is getting a bit messy having installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled so many programs over the last year...
