Okay, perhaps they can argue that it’s their product so if they want to use it, we should follow their conditions. Fine, but then we must remember that it’s “monopolistic” actions such as this is what got Bill Gates and Microsoft into hot water with the US Department of Justice and the European Union due to anti-trust violations. This is also perhaps the reason why it’s Windows OS is the favorite target of hackers and virus makers.

In my opinion, I believe Microsoft should only require cafe shops to buy original copies of its OS (which is only right)but it should not impose anymore on what settings shop owners would use, as long as such settings would not constitute to re-writing or backward engineering or modifying the program itself which already violates the EULA. The company must appreciate that users have their own preference hence, what works for one guy may not necessarily work for the next guy.

Again, this is just an opinion. Thanks!
