New Vista License Terms Impede Mac Users

Microsoft continues to try and shoot themselves in the foot. For some unknown reason they are now trying to block people from using features when running Windows through virtual or emulation software such as Boot Camp or Parallels. Are they trying to destroy themselves. I just don't get it.

" For both Home Basic and Home Premium editions, they state that "You may not use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system." For other editions, such use is permitted but restricted:

You may use the software installed on the licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system on the licensed device. If you do so, you may not play or access content or use applications protected by any Microsoft digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other Microsoft rights management services or use BitLocker. We advise against playing or accessing content or using applications protected by other digital, information or enterprise rights management technology or other rights management services or using full volume disk drive encryption."
