Soooo, if you were thinking you would just install that license on another computer, nope, not allowed. Thurrott is likely unaware of the fact that our audience is well accustomed to the practice of buying OEM hardware.

When our report indicated that OEM editions would be made available to the public, which they are , we rightfully assumed that our audience would realize that these are, in fact, OEM editions. Seems perfectly logical, does it not?

As such, our audience would know that as OEM products, they would be sold only by those companies which usually sell OEM goods. The Internet is loaded with them, but yes, you won't find such materials at your local Best Buy nor will you find there a number of other things we geeks like to buy. The fact of the matter is that finding a company that legally sells OEM products is about as easy and finding a company that sells any tech-related product.

Nonetheless, the early story generated some confusion. We were contacted by an anonymous informant at Microsoft who supported our report of the story, except that he noted that MCE was based on Home, not Professional. Laemmel never responded to us, and he never indicated what clarifications he could offer, only that reporting from other sites was factually incorrect.

Our response to Mr. Laemmel was enthusiastic, and I said, "We? On that question, we are still without an answer. A call to Microsoft this evening has not yet been returned. Thurrott, nonetheless, reported that we had received corrections from Microsoft and we failed to act on them. This is, unfortunately, a lie. How Mr. Thurrott claims to know who has and has not contacted us remains a mystery, but his willingness to make false statements about the actions of our publication are rather alarming.

Thurrott is correct that he himself had e-mailed us with his own account, but Mr. Thurrott does not work for Microsoft despite mean-spirited rumors , and Mr. Thurrott has also been incorrect in the past. We decided to wait for the comments of Mr. Laemmel, especially since we could see that anyone with 60 seconds to spare could buy MCE These things can, of course, be purchased with utterly minimal effort, and hardly merit mentioning. If the product keys review doesn't work.

They didn't work for me but the Professional does. Reviewer: Clint Abueva - favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 28, Subject: Maybe you need a parallel desktop to work the graphic card not work for virtualbox or vmware fusion or workstation only work at parallel desktop.

Reviewer: gag52 - - September 6, Subject: wait wrong one. So I know how people have been saying how the product keys in the comments aren't working but it isn't true, they do work. What you need to do first is to disconnect from the internet that's because when you type in the product key it pings back to the Microsoft Server to see if it's a valid product key. Then knowing the product key you can then connect. For more info you can ask me to make a Youtube video Conclusion: All of the product keys work it's just that you need to disconnect from the internet so it won't contact Microsoft.

Make sure you have the webpage opened FIRST before connecting to the internet so you can get the product keys. Anyways they work.

Reviewer: EpicTaco - - February 25, Subject: all 3 of the product keys in this review section didnt work i'm using vmware workstation, and setup asked for a product key, the reviews with the product keys unfortunately didn't work, please send a working product key.

This shouldn't be a problem for most of you but dang it I should have just got the SP2 one on here and updated it later. Sheesh the guys writing these descriptions are idiots.
