We have an MSDN subscription - I think it's the premium one - we get all
development tools, Office, XP, Vista etc etc.

If I download and install Windows XP from the MSDN website and use the CD
key provided in my subscription, is this a fully activated version (ie. no
timeout / activation required)? If so, then on how many more PCs can I do
this on? I'm guessing there must a limit, but can someone tell me for sure
and what it is?

What about installing Vista - is it the same situation?

Cheers for your help.
