[QUOTE="80sman, post: 26498, member: 14145"] The quality of Microsofts vista will probably be terrible, but they are calling it final release software and they will charge for it. It will no doubt state in they're licence that it is release software. Mediaportal is still in Beta....... what these guy's are doing is equivilent to getting a copy of of 'longhorn test beta edition' and selling it as the full windows vista final release. I suspect in the future we'll get a whole load of people coming on here complaining that this that and the other doesn't work, we can say umm yeah thats cos it's beta software........ and they can legitimatly claim to have have bought "full version" mediaportal. Don't reckon they'll be too impressed. The morality of it is wrong and whether there is a legal case to be made or not. Selling free stuff on ebay is a con and is still wrong. How anybody can say 'It's ok' is beyond me. Before anyone starts going on about linux, I know already, but they do offer gigs and gigs of stuff and do offer LEGITAMATE support. I have no problem with that. [/QUOTE]
