To me and many other people this move has only served to open our eyes to just how draconian the Windows licensing arrangements are - and this is what all the fuss and bother is about. You might say that this only demonstrates how generous Microsoft have been in the past, and that having picked up on the confusion, they have now simply clarified their position on transfer rights in the Vista EULA to avoid future problems. At no point did I ever encounter anything or anyone telling me that what I was doing was wrong, nor was I ever asked to explain my need to reactivate. Case in point: I've successfully transferred my copy of Windows XP Professional through 3 completely different new systems over the past 5 years, along with several hardware upgrades, activating it many times along the way, at least one of these by phone. Given the EULA is a binding legal document, this is an oversight which seems careless in my opinion, and the confusion has only been reinforced over the years. XP's EULA wording does not state clearly enough the conditions under which it restricts the transfer of Windows XP from one machine to another by the same owner. Both Paul and Microsoft have admitted that I have neither the legal training nor the patience. Let's be clear about one thing before we go any further: I'm not here to get into an endless legal debate over End User License Agreement (EULA) wording. I'm here to try to put across the enthusiast's point of view, something which both Paul's original article and Microsoft may have lost sight of. I know from the emails I've received, and from comments I've read by other enthusiasts across the Net that Vista's explicit limitation on transferring only once to another machine in particular has caused genuine frustration, confusion and anger. Licensing Changes to Vista article I jumped at the chance, given that this issue really affects guys like me. When Paul asked me to write a reply to his I'm what you might call a 'PC enthusiast': one of those guys who builds his own PC, regularly upgrading it to keep up with the demands of modern gaming. As you can probably guess by the site's name, I like to tweak and tinker with hardware and software.
The ConceptDraw PRO developers team took up an option to close the gap with interoperability for those who need to share MS Visio documents between users of different operation systems.My name is Koroush Ghazi, and I run the site. Latest Visio 2013 introduces a new file format VSDX that has replaced the Visio and Win Two Day binary file format VSD and XML file format VDX. Since Visio 2003 it's a non-default option to save documents in VDX format.
Before introduction of XML-like office document formats in MS Office 2003, Visio has been using VSD for documents. To interoperate with Visio another application has to be able to open files in Visio own formats. For years Visio has been using binary VSD format for documents.
