The part that confuses me, and that I hope they sufficiently clarify, is that I run my (rarely used) copy of Windows in a VM. So I can move that VM from one machine to another as I upgrade my hardware. This seems to route around their "supported lifetime for the device" language, as they are most likely relying on eventual hardware obsolescence and continued income from OEM installs. But in a sense I'm evading that by moving the VM from one laptop with Linux pre-installed to another.
As far as I am aware, installing Windows in a VM has always been allowed by their license (although they tried to limit this in some way in the past and eventually backtracked, around the time of Vista if I recall). Will they attempt to return to such restrictions, or simply write people like me off as an extremely small portion of their install base from which they do not expect to extract further revenue?
