Thank you all for your answers so far. Your answers prompted me to look
at my Windows XP Pro's EULA (found in C:\Windows\System32\eula.txt) and
in there it says:
1.1 Installation and use. You may install, use, access,
display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
the COMPUTER. The SOFTWARE may not be used
by more than two (2) processors at any one time on the
COMPUTER, unless a higher number is
indicated on the COA.
Clearly proving what I said originally
Notice that it says: "may not be used by more than two (2) processors
at any any one time on the COMPUTER".
You don't seem to grasp the difference between a CPU and a computer, despite having copied and pasted a non-technical, vastly over-simplified, and factually *wrong* definition.
Which means that as long as I have no more than 2 processors on my
laptop (I actually have one only) it is OK to use "at any one time"
that copy (it is a single copy after all).
No, but go ahead and rationalize your desire to pirate software any way you like.
