Vista - beta 2 for schools

hi,

i am the network manager of a high school in england. i recently purchased
the public beta 2 version of vista for my own private use. now i wouyld like
to know if i can install it, in the staffroom initially, to ease my teachers
into the vista experience before the new year, would this be allowed?

Hi Roly,

The public beta license is for installing on up to 10 test machines. It
should not be used in a production environment. That said, setting up a demo
machine is well within the stated boundries of your license. I would not,
however, install it on multiple machines on the school's network.

Do NOT Install Windows Vista Beta 2 on a Production Computer, Windows Vista
Beta 2 is for Evaluation Use Only, and should Only be installed on Test
Machines.

You need to work with Microsoft. There may be an early adoptor program that
fits your situation.

This fits in with the license agreement (disclaimer I am not a lawyer) as
far as I'm aware, it can be installed on up to 10 machines for test
purposes.
