QUOTE The price of the virtualization software does not include a copy of Windows. And to get that copy, buyers have to agree to Vista's license agreement  a legally binding document. Lurking in that 14-page agreement is a ban on using the least expensive versions of Vista  the $199 Home Basic edition and the $239 Home Premium edition  in virtualization engines. Instead, people wanting to put Vista in a virtualized program have to buy the $299 Business version or the $399 Ultimate package. F'ing Microsoft... -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
