No virtualisation for Vista Home

Vista is attracting a lot of attention, and not all of them are good. This one is about using the Home editions of Vista in a virtual environment like VMware or Parallels. In essence, if you want to run a virtual version of Vista on your Mac hardware with Parallels, and you do it with the Home versions of Vista, you'll be in violation of the End User Licensing Agreements. Sucks doesn't it? Of course, you can still go ahead and run it, but that will be illegal and someone may knock down your door and bring lock you up in prison for it.

All these licensing agreements stuff are such a hindrance to the adoption of tech.
