Applies to Vista Enterprise only:
"Windows Vista Enterprise is a special case. With that version of Vista,
which will be made available only to volume license customers, users will
be able to install a single licensed copy of Vista on one physical PC and up
to four VMs, simultaneously. Those four VMs, however, must all be installed
on the same Vista Enterprise-based PC, and they must be used by the same user."
