Try M$'s website. They should have the "latest" EULA on line. Note that the
EULAs can change over time and, I believe, it applies retroactively.
In general the "Home" editions of MS products is, at most, allowed for SOHO
(typically up to 5 PCs, I think), but not for Internet Cafes, Educational
Institutions, SME's, and large enterprises.

Subject: [plug] OT: Use of Windows XP Home in a Philippine Business
Hello All.
I recently heard that in several of the regular raids done by the Optical Media
Board, Internet Cafes and Schools that were using Windows XP Home had their
computers confiscated because allegedly XP Home is not for use in a business
establishment. They mentioned that it is stated in the EULA. However, I have
read the EULAs for WinXP Home, Win7 Starter, Win7 Home Basic, and others and
there is no mention there of such restrictions. I did find that Home versions
of Office Home and other products have this restriction.
Is there an addendum to the EULA in the Philippines? Is it there in the
printed licenses that comes with the OS? I would appreciate more information
in this matter specially a link or reference to a credible source. As a
consultant and FOSS enthusiast I find this information valuable.
Thanks.
Holden
