I haven't tried this myself, but I suspect that you have no experience with
this either. As the poster has already got an installed copy XPMCE, there
is nothing illegal being done. I can't see any comments on any sites saying
that it does not work, so I maybe what you are spreading is FUD? Obviously
only somebody has actually done this can answer this.
If I had not just built a new computer as the Vista release candidates came
out, I would have done this myself, after upgrading from an XP licence, but
not having upgraded from an XP installation. I would not trust the
integrity of the registry on such an installation.
