Microsoft has done a complete 180 on its policy concerning virtualization and Windows Vista. When the new operating system became available to the public a year ago, Microsoft's end-user license agreement only allowed the pricey Business and Ultimate versions of Vista to be run on a virtual machine. However, as eWeek reports, Microsoft has now altered its policy to include the cheaper Home Basic and Home Premium editions of Vista in its list of operating systems that can be virtualized. The move should notably benefit users of Apple's Intel-based Macs, who can use software like Parallels to run Windows and Windows applications from within Mac OS X instead having to dual-boot.
