I am soon going to upgrade my PC and i want to use Vista on it. Just wondering as i heard a rumour somewhere, is it true that you can install Vista home premium (OEM) on 3 computers on the same licence if they are in the same house, with the same IP?

I don't think so

very much doubt that, I've had to re-authenticate vista after updating the drivers on my pc.

IIRC, there was some family-pack type offer that MS did in the States where you could buy additional licenses at a reduced rate per install.

I tried out Vista and found myself migrating back to XP within a few days, it may look nice and have some neat touches but the constant security nonsense and software / hardware compatibility issues forced me back to XP whcih in the end is fine as it does everything I need it to do.
