Screw Micro$oft.

Get this, Vista only allows 2 installs, then its time to pony up more cash. Only one copy running at a time, but, you trash your drive more than once? Pay Bill.

The two installs only is garbage but the 'only one at a time' is standard. When you buy software you dont buy the right to 1000 copies of it.

That isn't accurate. Vista can be reinstalled on the same machine as often as necessary. It can only be uninstalled and installed on a different machine once.

Current OEM versions of XP can only be installed on one machine, but they can be reinstalled on that same machine whenever necessary.

And what happens when four and more cores happen with virtual machines?? How many copies do you buy then?
