Re: Fast!!
3 problems with that EULA.
1. ...any "OS Product"
Linux is an OS Product.
2. The list of OS's does NOT include XP
and 3. By that same EULA,
"The OS Components are provided to you by Microsoft to update,
supplement, or replace existing functionality of the applicable OS Product.
In the event your OS Product is a version of Windows NT Server, the OS
Components are deemed "Client Software." Microsoft grants you a license to use
the OS Components under the terms and conditions of the OS Product EULA for
the applicable OS Product (which are hereby incorporated by reference) and the
terms and conditions set forth in this Supplemental EULA, provided that you
comply with all such terms and conditions. To the extent that any terms in
this Supplemental EULA conflict with terms in the applicable OS Product EULA,
the terms of this Supplemental EULA control solely with respect to the OS
Components."
According to this, IE is not an OS component so the paragraph you quoted doesn't apply.
In conclusion,
Linux + Wine = Free IE. |
