The long-touted Microsoft Vista/Office 2007 tandem launch is on for the last week in November in New York, sources said. This event will focus on business usage and scenarios. The new client Windows operating system and Office client and server applications have been promised for volume business customers by year's end and for consumers by early 2007. Jeff Raikes, president of the Microsoft Business Division, would not comment on a specific launch timing or venue but said the company remains on track for the two promised delivery windows. He applied the usual caveat: Microsoft will not ship the code if it's not ready.

let's see:
"2. INSTALLATION AND USE RIGHTS. Before you use the software under a license, you must assign
that license to one device (physical hardware system). That device is the “licensed device.” A
hardware partition or blade is considered to be a separate device."
Ok, so the "device" has to be real hardware. Next:
"You may not use the software installed on the
licensed device within a virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system."
So, wether I would install it inside the VM or outside, it would be installed on this particular device. So I would no t be allowed to use a VM.

"There are no licenses available which can be bound to anything else then physical hardware."

One for starters. All the Vista licenses say is that if the Software is installed on a computer, then the same software can not be installed in a vm. Except in the case of Ultimate where you can use the same license that is installed on the machine in a VM as well.
