Windows Vista Licensing & Virtualization
An interesting posting on the new licensing terms for Windows Vista from the folks over at virtualization.info. Microsoft has clarified their terms of use around each version of Vista in regards to virtualization. Vista Home and Vista Home Premium CANNOT be run under virtualization (Microsoft's, VMware's or anyone elses') while Vista Business and Vista Ultimate CAN be run in VMs. What does this all mean ? Check your licensing terms (whether you are on XP or Vista) with all your vendors before you start down the desktop virtualization path.
