Windows Vista Licensing
I was looking around some forums and went into a really interesting topic about Microsoft Vista’s licensing scheme.
As some may already know, Microsoft plans to sell its new operating system Vista at least as three different versions : Home Basic, Home Premium and Ultimate. One of the problems is that it seems even if you pay full price for a Vista License, Microsoft won’t allow you to transfer it from one computer to another one more than once, even after an uninstallation on the former computer.
As far as I am concerned, that doesn’t hurt me too much except if I have frequent hardware reconfigurations or failures that could invalidate the license on my PCs… But there is a point that worries me much more : Virtualization…
