RE: How National Association of Home Builders moved beyond VMware, Part 1

I wonder if the user of Virtuozzo in this article realizes they are breaking Microsoft licensing policies? Virtuozzo always pitches it's just one OS and you only need 1 Windows license. This is NOT true. It's in black and white in Microsoft's licensing guide that you need a license for every VM just like VMware or XenSource or Virtual Server, etc. I've found a lot of SWSoft's customers are in violation of licensing rights. I just hope the auditors don't catch them before they correct themselves. (MS Licensing paper referenced: http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/8/9/68964284-864d-4a6d-aed9-f2c1f8f23e14/virtualization_whitepaper.doc)
