According to a new mailing being sent by the convicted monopolist, even those who pay Microsoft for membership in its bulk licensing program do not get “full” licenses for Windows. It’s part of the company’s latest push to force original equipment manufacturers to preload Windows. Details in this report on Linux and Main.”
