> 13. John C. Dvorak: Can You Install Windows XP on More than
> One PC? The Realities of Product Activation
>
> There's a valid question. If you buy Windows XP (Home or
> Pro) can you install it on two different systems? Microsoft
> says no, right? But what happens if you try? And what about
> the laptop policy? Can you actually install Windows XP on a
> desktop and a laptop without worry? Then there's the rumor
> about three installs in the home -- that you can install the
> OS three times on the same machine without fuss -- but what
> about installing it on three different machines? There are
> a million other ideas and misconceptions and -- some --
> truths.
>
> What is the real deal with Windows XP authentication,
> installation on more than one PC, and reinstallation?
> Dvorak tries to dig out the facts and asks you to share
> what you've tried to finesse. Let's all do some
> experimenting and let Dvorak know how it goes.
