I installed the version of everybuddy (0.2.0) that came with my SuSE8.0, and experienced spantanious closures. I downloaded the latest version from the everybuddy web page (0.4.2) and it works very well, I connect all the time with my buddies using MSN messenger.

Actually I never read my EULA (Windows ME). I read it on some website. Any way, I will get rid of Windows if MS asks me to. The only reason I use Windows is MSN messenger. Everyone in my family uses MSN messenger. I tried installing everybuddy but it crashed frequently so I kept Messenger. Leo

Microsoft has changed the EULA (End User License Agreement) from OS to OS, so it is possible that was a provision of your EULA. However, off the top of my head, I can't think of any way that they would be able to figure out that you were, in fact, running a dual boot. If, however, they did ask you to remove Linux, then you could just go ahead and remove Windows since it sucks anyway :). If you let me know what version of Windows you're running, then we might be able to figure out what flavor EULA you agreed to.
HTH,

I read somewhere on the web that by clicking on Accept when you start using a computer with MS system (apparently its called EULA), you agree to the fact that MS can ask you to remove any software from your system?
This includes any other OS that you install after you receive your system. I am not sure about this but does that authorize MS to tell us to remove Linux from our dual-bootable system?
