Maybe this is nothing, but I am building myself a quad core (4 cpu cores
on one die, so only one physical processor) system and I want to load XP
Pro generic OEM. I do have a vista business retail license also I could
use if I needed to (but really prefer not to use vista). Both EULAs
state allowed for use with no more than 2 processors.

XP Pro EULA:

"The product may not be used on more than two (2) processors at any one
time on any single workstation computer."

Vista Business EULA:

"You may use the software on up to two processors on that device at one
time."

I've never been a big MS fan, but neither am I into 'pirating' either.
My obvious concern is being able to use an OS within the licensing
terms. This isn't a cause for concern, is it?

"Fair use is not merely a nice concept--it is a federal law based on
free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the
creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country. Consumer
rights in the digital age are not frivolous."
