MultiOS USB Stick II

[Amichai Rotman]

No, I didn't!

I thought you buy a licence from Microsoft, and you can use whatever
installation media (as long as you have the suitable licence for it at
install time).

I was planning on taking one USB key with all installations on it instead
of walking around with a 25 CDs wallet in my bag....

Isn't that the same? How is what I want to do considered piracy if I use
the customer's own licence key at install?!

Heck, I'd rather go around installing Ubuntu instead. Maybe Windows 8 will
help me convince more people to make the sensible choice... :-)

Amichai.
