Out of its beta mode, Vista is soon to be launched and is probablythe most awaited OS. But with the new license check and RFM , things, if you don’t activate it, it will work with minimum features
eg the Office 2007
You can use it 25 times only without activation, after that it wontlet you create or edit documents, so u just have to end up viewing itlike a pdf
So I made a list of alternate softwares, which people can use on their computer, which are free legally, and enjoy their lives
