Firstly, I don't see any reason why Novell has to know anything about the computer I install the OS on; secondly, you agree to a "perpetual and irrevocable licence" for Novell to use the information; and thirdly (and we already know all about this thru outsourcing), while Novell states that it won't publicly reference 'Your name' there is nothing to state that whoever it passes this information to will be covered by this qualification.
I don't understand this at all. Really, I don't.
If you're that worried about misuse of *feedback*, then don't send any
You obviously haven't tried to install 10.2 beta 1 yet, have you? During the installation, at the part where you have the option to Register the product, try and deselect the first tick-box called (?)Hardware Details (the other 2 I think are called Optional Details and Registration or Certificate Number). You cannot deselect this tick-box and proceed with the installation. If you decide to bypass this stage and Register from the Control Centre after the installation has been completed, you will not be able to complete the 'registration' unless this box is ticked. So, if I don't want to send any info to Novell I don't have to, eh? Cheers. -- "The only way we can win is to leave before the job is done." George W. Bush 4 November 2006
