Micro$oft's own website is very vague on this point, but it appears that
you're right: they limit physical CPUs, but not cores.
I found the following data for Vista:
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_editions_final.asp
(Scroll down to nearly the bottom for some charts.)
So, Vista supports 64-bit CPUs, eh? That's interesting... I wonder if
anybody has tried it yet? (There is of course a 64-bit edition of WinXP.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work properly... I'm wondering if the Vista
one does.)
Also, only Business, Enterprise and Ultimate support 2 physical CPUs. (I
find it surprising that Enterprise is limited to just 2... Maybe it's an
omission of the chart?)
