Local boy, and ryerson grad, Cory Doctorow has a nice little article everyone should read (in my classes anyway) when they’re thinking of what we commit ourselves (and our children) to, without knowing, thinking or caring: Shrinkwrap Licenses: An Epidemic Of Lawsuits Waiting To Happen: “Vista, Microsoft’s new operating system, comes in a rainbow of flavors varying in price from $99 to $399, but all of them come with the same crummy terms of service, which state that “you may not work around any technical limitations in the software,” and that Windows Defender, the bundled anti-malware program, can delete any program from your hard drive that Microsoft doesn’t like, even if it breaks your computer.” There’s more on myspace and other items, but I’d already heard of this vista won, and was looking for a reference.
