With the purchase of Software Assurance will home use of operating system upgrades be covered?
No. Based on information from Microsofts licensing web site, Home Use applies only to Office. We will attempt to get Microsoft to extend home use to the Operating System and try to make sure we are covered for other products like Project and Visio, but coverage of the OS appears unlikely. In addition, Microsoft now requires that you track Home Use. Here’s the form that end users must complete.
