BUT, Virtual PC users should be aware that if your version came with a

your Virtual PC "hard drive" with ANY other product.


Seems to me that if you give up one location to move it to another, you
shouldn't be punished. We all paid good money for our VPC and OS. Good
for Parallels.

Unfortunately, what "seems to you" is not what the law says.

It's the same as if you buy a real PC with Windows already installed on
it. The license for this copy of Windows doesn't allow you to copy it
to another PC.
