Now you're just moving the goalposts. This has degraded again to a conversation that has little to do with Virtualbox. If you have queries about Microsoft licensing you should really be approaching your Microsoft Account Manager. Up to 4 instances means just that, 4 VMs - however if you use the host VM for anything other than VM management it is limited to 3 VMs. There are plenty of PDF & Web documents that explain all this. You are making a lot of negative assumptions which are plain wrong, please just do a little bit of googling before going on your anti-microsoft tirade. There are actually plenty of negative things you could say about Microsoft and a lot of positive things you could say about Open Source software, but so far you have not really hit any of them, and this kind of conversation off topic for this list. Virtual Licensing issues and methods, is, on the other hand, in my opinion, on topic.Giles,Your link is for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, not Windows 7. This is the problem with Microshit products, you need a bank of lawyers to figure it out. Even the server wording is vague "up to four instances", what exactly does that mean. And what about running 4 instances of Server 2008 on a Linux box, do I only need just one license? I doubt it.
