Why does my MSDN Copy of RTM contain only a 1 Computer Software License?

Why does my MSDN Copy of RTM only contain a 1 Computer Software Licence?

All of my other MSDN Software contains a 10 Computer License, why is Vista
different?

P.S. The Winver EULA at the Run Command, seems to be identical to Retail
Store Copies of RTM, rather than the MSDN EULA.

Well if you check out the MSDN site it states that unless it is
mentioned, all software on there can be activated on 10 pcs, it isn't
mentioned in the download area or in the product key are that Vista
can't be activated on 10 pcs.

Kevin;
That is because MSDN has the retail versions for download and will include
the EULA.
That is normal and the way it has always been.
Vista is the same as the other OSs in MSDN.
Go read the Master EULA that came with your subscription and all will be
explained.
The EULA is also available here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/sub.../aa948867.aspx
Particularly read the part that deals with contradictions between the MSDN
and product EULA.
