Yes, I believe Microsoft has a right to prevent or restrict people
form using the oses on more than one machine.

I do believe Activation and Genuine windows advantage is an
inconvenience . That have improved the activation problem with xp
sp2

I do need to correct you on a point. The enforcement of the eula for
consumers have not be proven yet.

Kurt claim of the Fair Use.
If only part may be used. If that is actual the case. He could only
half install windows on other computers. I would like to seen him try
½ even ¼ install of xp. I wish there was a custom install of xp.

I am surprised he is spending money on his website instead of
challenge the eula in court if he feels that strong about it.

I mean no derogatory comments toward Microsofts or Kurt. These are
just my opinions
