EricofSD, Who said you can't put it on your laptop as well. the EULA is quite generous on that matter and it was stated that you can get at least three response codes befor red flags come up at CL. and even then the counter can be easily reset with a phone call or email to cust, service (I believe it was starlet who stated that). realy people are jumping to conclusions here, why not wait a few weeks and find out directly from those who preordered if you are hesitant. I preordered and intend on installing on both my home and work computer so will let you know (by the way I also went out and got WinXP the first day it came out and was never unhappy with my decision.
