M$ retreats on stupid Vista EULA transfer clause after intense pressure

M$ has modified the Vista EULA after widespread criticism about users only being allowed to transfer it ONCE between PCs. They started out with a totally absurd EULA knowing they would have to back off - rather like a kidnapper who actually wants $100,000 starting off demanding $500,000 knowing that the negotiators will haggle down his price.

M$ are truly reptiles - the hackers will be straining on their leashes waiting to sink their teeth into Vista and rip it open - anyone care to guess how long it will stand before it's cracked? I'm thinking of a few months, possibly less. If I win the lottery, I'll put up a vast reward for the first cracking team to break Vista.
