I read in the EULA about being able to install Windows Vista Beta is on up to
10 machines. My neighbor whom I'm sharing a wireless network with [I own all
the equipment, router, ISP, etc...] He is willing to give vista a whirl, he
understands the ups and downs with using a beta product, I am his "go-to" guy
for IT matters. Which would help me provide feedback in relation to home
networking. Just making sure I wont get any heat from microsoft for doing
this.

You may run into trouble with the computer locking up at activation if you
use the same product key for both. You may not run into any problems, but
better safe than sorry, get a couple keys from your Beta project's page.

i have a similar dilemma where i have other machines to test on (laptop/media
client) and checked the vista preview page for another key.
i received the other key and have been informed this is the maximum amount
of keys available.
But the footnote says (quoted) Windows Vista Beta 2 can be installed and
activated on up to 10 PCs using with one Product Key.
brilliant . thanx MS
