They have certainly altered the EULA http://www.microsoft.com/About/Legal/EN/US/IntellectualProperty/UseTerms/Default.aspx section 3, b. (downloaded pdf from that site) from windows 7 professional, and its the same with Win Vista Home Premium Use with Virtualization Technologies. Instead of using the software directly on the licensed computer, you may install and use the software within only one virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system on the licensed computer. When used in a virtualized environment, content protected by digital rights management technology, BitLocker or any full volume disk drive encryption technology may not be as secure as protected content not in a virtualized environment. You should comply with all domestic and international laws that apply to such protected content. That was as of today.

Re: Westside Stammtisch Details
Note, in W7 i found the steps to rewrite your MBR for windows. but generally if you can reinstall clean then leave the mbr alone. if you can use a second drive for boot then you can write mbr there.

Who wouldn't? Besides running both concurrently, there are no boot conflicts of any kind. I'm not intimately familiar with MS's EULA, so I could be breaking the agreement. I have converted both XP and Vista to VMs, and they run fine (under VMware Player 2.5 and up). AFA I'm concerned, Windows is still running on the hardware it was licensed for, albeit indirectly. When doing a Windoze VM, you just need to be careful to activate the license *after* converting to a VM if possible. This can be a problem for preexisting installations, because after converting to a VM Windoze thinks it's running on different hardware, and thus requires reactivation, which may or may not be allowed depending on the particular license. The OEM license is different from the retail license, at least with XP. I don't know about Vista/7. BL, if MS doesn't allow Windoze to be run under (other) VM hosts, I think they'd be shooting themselves in the foot. -- -Eric 'shubes' --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
