Microsoft Clarifies: Only Cheapest Vistas Cant Power VMs
Friday, October 20th, 2006
The two least expensive versions of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Vista cannot run a virtual machine 
(VM), such as one on an Intel-based Mac, the company confirmed Tuesday.
According to the Vista EULA (End User Licensing Agreement), Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium — $199 and $239 for a full version, respectively — cannot be used in a virtual machine, software that emulates a PC’s hardware to run a second, or even third or fourth, operating system on a single physical workstation.
"Vista Home Basic and Home Premium are not licensed for use in a virtual machine," a Microsoft spokesman declared. Microsoft Clarifies: Only Cheapest Vistas Can’t Power VMs - News by InformationWeek
