Yes, I mean something like removing the disk and placing it to another computer. I am actually interested in making a bootable USB stick and I have a spare Vista license. I would want it to run on different computers.
Has anyone tried it?
Will Windows Vista boot on a different computer than the one installed?
It will not work, blue screen.

With that said let me tell you what happened with my retail vista ultimate recently. Microsoft blocked my installation key because they said that I'd abused it by reactivating it 23 times. This includes hardware failures/changes and new drives so take it for what it's worth. When they see too many reactivations of the key they'll lock it out of the system and it will become worthless. If you want a migratory os then never activate it while using it.
I don't think it's worth taking MS to court over an 8 year old version of Windows that only has a couple left until EOL. It's also doubtful that he would even have a receipt.Got your reciept? Take them to small claims court and demand a refund. The retail EULA officially allows you to transfer the OS between machines, as long as it is only on one machine at a time.
Microsoft is just playing dirty as usual, because they want to sell new Win 8.1 licenses.
