BUT, Virtual PC users should be aware that if your version came with a
version of Windows in the box, then it is actually illegal in the terms
of the software agreement to use that operating system installed on
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.
Precisely - you paid for Virtual PD *AND* the OS. They go together as a
package, and when you installed the software you agreed to the
conditions in ther license terms (whether or not you actually read
them).
If you buy the OS separately, then you can install it on one system of
whatever type you like. That's why it costs more than the bundled
version.
Not much more - ($25-$30 at the most?)
It's considerably more than $30.
VPC (non-upgrade) stand-alone is around $120.
VPC + XP Pro about $230.
Windows XP Pro (non-upgrade) is $200-300.
You're looking at about a $100 difference.
