Vista virtualisation ban lifted

, posted: 23-Jan-2008 10:16

Just spotted this newsbit over at Ars Technica that Microsoft has lifted the ban on running consumer edition of Windows Vista on any virtual environment.

So rejoice all virtual pc users! You can now run your Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium in any virtual environment. And if I read it right - understanding the whole ban on virtualisation - that you may run a virtualised Vista in your Home Basic/Premium too perhaps?

The approval still require you to have a license for each instances of Windows Vista running in virtual environment.
