When you say: Microsoft doesn't listen to us, you are totally wrong. A few weeks ago, a lot of hardware enthusiasts complaint about the fact the Vista license agreement stated users would only be allowed to transfer the license to another computer one time only.

Well the company listened to the complaints and announced today on the Vista Team Blog the revision to the Vista Retail terms:

You may uninstall the software and install it on another device for your use. You may not do so to share this license between devices.

Good news, altough this is only valid for the Vista Retail editions. OEM-versions (mostly bundled with branded PC's) have different license terms.
