Hi,
Just to confirm I've understtod Microsoft's licensing correctly, can someone please clarify the following?
1. I can run XP SP2 legally using VMware Fusion, which will allow me to play or access content or use applications protected by any Microsoft digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other Microsoft rights management services.
2. I can run Vista Business legally using VMware Fusion, but not play or access content or use applications protected by any Microsoft digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other Microsoft rights management services.
3. I cannot use VMware Fusion to run XP SP2 via bootcamp, which will allow me to play or access content or use applications protected by any Microsoft digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other Microsoft rights management services, as this is considered as two installs of XP.
4. I cannot use VMware Fusion to run Vista Business via bootcamp, which will allow me to play or access content or use applications protected by any Microsoft digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other Microsoft rights management services, as this is considered as two installs of Vista.
5. Essentially the only way to legally play or access content or use applications protected by any Microsoft digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other Microsoft rights management services via VMware Fusion is to use XP with SP2.
Cheers.
