The last time I asked an MS person that question, it was still the case
that you could run an earlier "lesser" version of Windows with the
more current license. I know thats the case for running win2K with
an XP license, and my more recent question was about Vista and XP.
That was about 1.5 years ago that I asked that but I don' think
things have changed since then.
