If you think Windows Vista was bad, and Windows 7 sucked, then check
this out! And mind you I'm not a "Windows" basher at large, I just
feel that they've never really been "about the consumer" but more
"about the cash"....I understand most corporations using it, for
it's hardware-wide compatibility, but as a personal home PC user why
would you DO that to yourself? LoL!

So last day
I got around to installing Vista. The last 12 hours have
convinced me that this is arguably the worst operating system
ever made, and booting back into F17 was bliss. I have not
tried Windows 7 very much (only really use Windows at all if
Wine will not give me a smooth solution).
Reinstalling Grub with the F17 seems to be broken by the
way...grub2-install throws an error. I did not record it
unfortunately, but I am assuming it can be fixed. If
nothing else, it is not problematic to use an earlier
version for recovery unless you need Grub2.
Deceptively simple and elegant solution,
apply the DWPGA rule.
Delete Windows, problem goes away.
Solved problems on our computers.

What license? AFAIK, none of the Windows licenses forbid running in a VM.
Most versions of Windows don't make any provision for it.
this is simply wrong

Licensing the Windows Desktop Operating System
For Windows operating system software licensed through retail (FPP) or preinstalled on a PC (OEM), Windows use
rights are outlined in the Software License Terms that accompany the software. These license terms provide use
rights to run Windows locally on the licensed device in a virtual operating system environment (OSE); however they
do not provide use rights for accessing Windows running remotely in a virtual OSE from the licensed device, and are
limited in other ways when compared to virtualization use rights provided with Windows Software Assurance, Windows
Intune, and Windows VDA licenses acquired through Microsoft Volume Licensing. For example, neither FPP nor OEM
licenses permit remote access to a Windows virtual machine (VM) running in a datacenter. For this, a license
obtained through Microsoft Volume Licensing is required.
