When I upgraded my Inspiron from Win2K to WinXP I was instructed to put the XP license label next to the W2K license label and that both had to be on one machine to be "legal". In other words, if you bought WinME and then an XP upgrade version you couldn't have the ME on one machine and the XP on another.

I thought that too, but the offending paragraph

"11.1 Upgrades. To use a version of the Software identified as an upgrade, you must first be licensed for the software identified by Microsoft as eligible for the upgrade. After upgrading, you may no longer use the software that formed the basis for your upgrade eligibility."

simply doesn't say that. That last sentence seems very clear (to me) in saying that if I upgrade from V7, then I can no longer use V7. Granted, I'm not a lawyer, but I have a lot of trouble seeing how that paragraph can be read any other way. What you are implying is a further clause that would say "on another computer." But that clause just isn't there.

I doubt that this is what MS meant to say, but unfortunately, there it is in the EULA - clear and concise. I really think this needs to be changed in the printing.
