I have the 32-bit Windows Beta installed on VMWare on my MacBook, and I want to install it in bootcamp on my iMac. Can I use the same iso and just burn it on to a DVD and use the samie product key from Microsoft or do I need to download another copy- will Microsoft let me download another 32-bit copy? (The boot camp instructions told me that the 64-bit will only work on 2008 machines; my C2E Alum iMac is mid-2007, but I read the drivers are easier to find for the 32-bit version anyway.)
Got a tip for us?

Install Windows 7 Beta on a second computer

Well some programs, e.g. Adobe Photoshop or Final Cut allow you to install on more than one computer but not run them at the same time.
Yeah, but it's fine for Windows 7 Beta. If you're worried about licensing issues, I think everyone has one of the five product keys for the Beta. Even though Microsoft generated a product key when you downloaded, hundreds of thousands of other people have your exact product key.
If you're worried about functionality or activation issues, I have two computers running Win7 right now simultaneously.
