Virtualization in Win 7 EULA

[ralphdaily]

Does the Win 7 Professional upgrade from XP EULA allow for virtualization in Fusion? I'm about to pre-order a version.

Historically, MS only wants to get paid and it doesn't matter what hardware (virtual or not) you install it on.

If you question is - can I install a upgrade licensed Win 7 in fusion, the answer is almost certainly "yes"

If you are asking about something trickier - can I use the Win 7 built in license for a virtual XP translate to a seperate instance of XP in a fusion vm .. that takes a little closer examination of the EULA. Since the real EULA isn't availble yet, you may have to wait for an answer.

I just wanted to know if I had to order a more expensive version of Win 7 in order to use it in Fusion. You answered it.

Thanks, Ralph
