True. Mind you I had a i7 lenovo laptop with Windows 7 Pro which I sat on when I was drunk (and completely broke it).
I had upgraded it from 7 to 8 with the cheap upgrade deal (which transfers your OEM to retail). I transferred that licence to a VM by phone activation and it now works fine - I just had to say (which was true) that the old version wan't in use. MS phone activation people are pretty understanding (if slow) as long as you are being honest in my experience.
