So the standard with-a-new-computer license *doesn't* have the "and one VM on the same hardware" provision that (I have been told) a "real" license does? There's also the question of how MS Word is licensed. Are there versions of Wine (or whatever it's called now) that work well? That is, has someone here used it and can vouch that it Just Works...
