I bought a dell at work. Came with windows. Installed linux ans want to set up a windows vm to use necessary win software for work.
So naturally I can't register my oem xp pro because its bound to my hardware which differs from vm. Basically I must pirate windows even though I own a copy which I should be able to legally install on a vm. Not to mention that I can't install os x just because its not apple hardware on a vm.
So yea this sort of bs is what makes us all have to resort to piracy because the alternative is too expensive.
