06/20: Microsoft Changes Mind on Vista Virtualization
Posted by Patrick
From Mary Jo Foley:
Microsoft almost tweaked its licensing terms for Windows Vista yet again — this time in order to ease virtualization restrictions that irked a number of customers and partners. But in the eleventh hour, company officials decided against the move, resulting in Microsoft cancelling its planned announcement.
Microsoft officials were preparing to announce officially on June 20 that Microsoft had a change of heart and would allow users to run all versions of Windows Vista in a virtualized environment. Microsoft prebriefed a number of news and blogging outlets, including me, about the planned change under non-disclosure.
