Uhm, that link is a bunch of BS, its like the people who claim there is no law that you have to pay taxes. If you want to hold a legal license for Windows (and by legal I mean alibied by the EULA, because it is a contract you agree to when installing windows), you can't use a copy from another computer, particularly an OEM copy, as OEM copies have specific limitations to them. Maybe you aren't liable in criminal court, but you are still breaking the contract of the EULA and thus liable in civil court. There is no way to get around the fact that by installing the software, and opening the package, you agree to the EULA, and are violating it by installing multiple copies of the software. At most, you could claim that as long as you don't use both copies at the same time it is legal, but it definitely is not to have them both running at the same time on two different computers.
