Actually it's kind of worse than that. Microsoft does not allow any of
the Basic or Home versions to be used in virtualilzed environments. You
need to purchase the Business or Ultimate version to allow for that
(BTW, they're getting a lot of heat for that, which they *should* IMHO).
I love running virtual machines too, but how is this any different than
what Apple is doing?
At least Apple has a business viability reason: Apple sells computers,
so if someone can run OS X on a non-Apple computer they lose a lot of money.
But Microsoft doesn't sell computers, only operating systems. It
doesn't affect them in any way whether I run my legally-purchased copy
of Windows on a box made by Dell, or Gateway, Apple, or build my own
with parts from Fry's. Microsoft makes the same amount of money no
matter where I run the OS.
I guess now that the dozens of class-action suits against MS have slowed
down the company is feeling lonely and acting out to get attention. :)
