Ah! You are completely mistaken! You don't own Windows, M$ owns it. You are only given a "licence" (permission
) to use it and the big daddy M$ keeps changing the terms of this license to suit its convenience.
Additionally, one license is for one computer only (provided you pay and take multiple licences/bulk licenses). You can't install it on as many computers as you want.
GNU/GPL allows you to install on multiple machines from one copy and thats why GNU/Linux OS can be freely and legally distributed!
