The new licenses, which were highlighted by the Vista team on its official blog Tuesday, add new restrictions to how and where Windows can be used.

On-chip virtualization extensions should, ideally, make it impossible for the OS running under it to know it's virtualized.. How long until that gets shagged up though, I guess, eh?
