So I wonder if they are they going to move to more aggressively limiting you moving a license from one machine to another.
Or are they just going to rely on people just paying for the convenience of having Windows pre-installed and working out of the box?
In all honesty, they'll probably do fine relying on the latter.

This has been a kegal issue in some cases, e.g. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/473/908/ https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/473/908/
- balakk 12y agoI believe Microsoft is going to sell hardware, big time. Their play is devices & services now.
