Responding to the myriad complaints over ambiguities and outright uncool (that's a technical term) licensing terms, Microsoft has revised the Vista retail license to remove some of the most major causes of complaint. A previous version of the Windows Vista retail license restricted the number of times you may transfer Vista from one device to another. The license read: "The first user of the software may reassign the license to another device one time. If you reassign the license, that other device becomes the 'licensed device'." The new license has removed this language relating to device transfers.

"Remember as well the no-VM in Home is still there."
I think this is no problem because users of the "Home" edition won't want to install it in a VM - most of them won't even know what a VM is. :-) As far as I know, the "Home" edition will be pre-installed on machines for the home user (as the name "Home" says). And the home users just won't care. Will they read the EULA or just go there and clickityclick? :-)
