Ooops!<br>
Remember to buy the fully-featured Windows Vista Ultimate (r) if you
plan to go into virtual arenas.<br>
The beloved EULA states for Home Basic and Home Premium that:<br>
<blockquote>4. USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may not use
the software installed on the<br>
licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware
system.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
In the case of Windows Vista Ultimate it states:<br>
<blockquote>6. USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. You may use the
software installed on the<br>
licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware
system on the licensed device. If<br>
you do so, you may not play or access content or use applications
protected by any Microsoft digital,<br>
information or enterprise rights management technology or other
Microsoft rights management<br>
services or use BitLocker. We advise against playing or accessing
content or using applications<br>
protected by other digital, information or enterprise rights management
technology or other rights<br>
management services or using full volume disk drive encryption<br>

But you shall not play with DRM content....<br>
<br>
It looks that MS guys don't want us to move into the virtualization
arena as much as we would like to. Sorry Robert, but you have to keep
the dual boot on the new Lenovo ;-) That license is not valid for the
VMware <br>
