You've been told wrong. The rule is quite clear. It's one copy
(or one license) for each computer. You'll need to buy another
copy.


There's nothing new here. This is exactly the same rule that's
been in effect on every version of Windows starting with Windows
3.1. The only thing new with XP is that there's now an
enforcement mechanism.

That's true for Office XP, but not for the OS
