uh, because it's a smart*ssed diss, essentially saying "i know what the

this seems to be belaboring the somewhat obvious, but it's because for one
reason or another, i ****HAVE**** to use the msft product at that moment in
time, and regardless of WHAT the EULA says, i am going to use it because i
HAVE to. full stop. you're right, i do have other choices: pen an paper,
quit work and start eating government cheese, use an alternate software that
nobody else on the project is using and suffer the results when
***ANYTHING*** goes wrong and it gets blamed on software incompatibility,
and like that.
this seems to be an awful lot of ado about very little. i was just
wondering if anyone knew whether msft eula's (ok, the one for microsoft
project to alleviate any further discussion of incompatibilities between
msft product license agreements) allows an individual user to install from
the same disks on more than one computer _exclusively for his or her own
personal use_. not to start a flame war.
