Of course I'd probably get too cute and install Linux and find a licensed copy of M$ to run in a VMWare instance... And while that would let me/them run their software on my computer (once they could see their software up and running I bet they don't ever actually examine the system afterwards) if they did find out they'd probably get pissed and say I violated terms of parole[1] because, well 'you know what we meant!'...
