Another quick point: The non-commercial Linux versions don't care about how many systems you install it on. This opens the possiblity of installing SC into a linux virtual machine for those wishing to test it out under linux. Mac users could easily run that under Parallels if they wanted and dump the win install. A few weeks ago, my accountant/legal advisor was watching a lecture on system and network security. He was very concerned about the newer Micro$oft licensing small print in the windoze EULA basically stating "we own you and everything you do with one of our operating systems". I'm not sure why M$ lawyers would insist on putting that in there. There has yet to be a court challenging of it that I know of. If there is, it will be a very nasty fight... and a good sell signal for MSFT. Right now and at the very least, it is well known that M$ is snooping everything you do on one of their OS's. With my own network engineering experience and that of my peers, it is very hard to turn "most" of it off and keep it off.
