[Hidden-tech] Windows for a Mac

[Will Loving]

It is legal to install a regular full copy of Windows XP on another machine,
IF you remove it from the first machine. I had this come up when a PC I had
was taken out by a lightning strike (through the network port which was
unprotected, not the electrical which was). I called Microsoft, explained
that I was installing on a new machine to replace a destroyed one and they
gave me a new activation code without any further questions.
