What are the chances that Microsoft condones this? :P

That's pretty cool but it would take a pretty good computer to push more than two extra setups wouldn't it?
I'm on a 400mhz though so a lot of the newer computers could probably  push a few.

Chances are they condone it as long as you buy a liscence for each seat.

But it uses one computer and splits the traffic through video cards on the single machine so why would you have to buy a license for each seat? Aren't you buying a license for a single machine when you buy it?

Home use, yes.  Business use, no.  Most every license package MS sells to businesses is per-seat accessing, particularly to server OS environments.
