Windows + VM licenses

[jarrodhenry at comcast.net]

Vista WGA does do callback on updates, and the WGA does take into account computer information.

I know this because my Vista is a volume license vista , and when I put in a new hard drive and video card, the OS reported it was unable to determine if it was Genuine.  I'd suspect that , fundamentally, the OS can reach into the Host machine to determine information. (Or if the HDD showed as different sizes due to growth and the like.)

Point is, they probably can tell.
