Slashdot reports that apparently Microsoft is requiring that if you want to install Vista on your Mac, running under virtualization, you must use at least the $299 Business version of Vista or higher.

Microsoft justified the required by referring to “security issues with virtualization”. Is anyone else noticing that companies are starting to throw around “security” as a reason to do anything just like other people throw around “terrorism” as a justification of anything as well?

Too bad you can’t use fear-mongering while buying a house or a car :(
