Vadados--

I haven't seen MSFT take any steps at all to this date if you take one
computer, make a zillion partitions on its hard drives, and install non-OEM
genuine Vista or Win 7 or Win XP with the same PK and further back OS's a
zillion times to use whatever they're calling WGA these days to stop you. I
haven't dealt with OEM CDs or DVDs for about 9 years.

I've never had a problem with WGA or whatever it is in 2009 or 2010
installing a genuine OS with x number of boxes in my network with the same
PK . That would include carving a zillion partitions on each of those boxes
and installing the Windows OS on each and every one of them for a zillion
multi boot setup.

I believe that's the way it should be.

I don't try to pass around my genuine Win OS or Office or other software to
other peoples' pcs that would require me formating it on mine for the PK to
work for them.

Best,

That may not make it legal, but I don't have time and don't get paid to
read the convoluted, verbose, byzantine EULA. That's what they pay Brad
Smith's 6 figures boys and girls at Redmond to do.
