i just remember my friend being able to give out his XP cd key to a couple of our friends and it all worked out just fine, just wondering if this is the same case

lol I misread your post.
You can only use vista on 1 computer per cd, unless you buy multiple licenses.

Go somewhere else to learn about stealing, fraud and violation of software UA's please.
Thanks.

Microsoft allows you to get three licenses for the Same computer. This is only for those people who upgrade parts of the computer that demand a new OS install. They aren't letting you use it on three seperate computers, just three forms of your original computer. Hope that clears it up.

How dare they expect you to use a single license for software on only one machine. Sonsofbitches.. roll

Yeah I'm not a huge Microsoft fan but they have every right to make sure each computer has a legit license. If you want free, move to Linux...
