Or we could all buy TechNet licenses; surely our wives, our children and our
grandchildren can be "evaluators" - oh wait; the Technet license
specifically states that only the single named subscriber can use the
operating systems.

Ah, what the heck. Why buy Vista Ultimate for $400 and two Home Premiums
for another $100 at a total of $500 when for less than that we can obtain a
TechNet subscription that includes 10 copies of Vista and 10 copies of
Office 2007 as well.

Oh wait. You already did that. Nevermind.

If there were a signed version for full retail Ultimate, I'd gladly pay $10
more for it. Unopened, in 20 years, it would be worth the extra 10 dollars
you paid, LOL. But seriously, I'd pay the 10 dollars if it were in Ultimate
retail.

I wonder if there's a time limit for installing the other copies. My wife
refuses to have Vista on her PC so I really don't have any other PCs on
which to install Vista right now. I'd like to buy the licenses right away
and save them for when I need them.

Whether or not the hardware purchase is required for purchase, it is
required by the license that OEM XP be installed on new hardware.

Knowingly searching for the loophole and using it in violation of the intent
or spirit of the contract is stealing. While it may not get you in jail, it
is still stealing. Humans don't need courts or laws to define right or
wrong. We know it instinctively.

I noticed that also. I don't know why there is only the upgrade edition
unless MS has decided to really drive promotion of XP users to upgrade.

I agree. If you know you've found a loophole, you already know right from

Loopholes do not always mean wrong. Sometimes loophole means a right way
to get around something that you can't by the way the rules state.

This is a non-existent loophole.

Do you think for a moment that Microsoft will not look for a legal and
validated install of Vista Ultimate, before they allow you to order the 2
licenses for Vista Home Premium ***from that computer***?

I sure do!
