Installing Windows XP onto a CD or bootable USB device is not the same as installing it on a single computer, and is in violation of the precise wording of the EULA.
Since when is installing an OS onto a CD and then booting off it different than installing it on a hard drive? Hell, if I managed to install Windows on a bootable lawn mower, what difference does it make?
Doing the above specifically for the purpose of easily moving it from one computer to another is a pretty clear violation of the intent of the EULA.
Please show me exactly where anyone (the editor of TFA or Bart himself) suggests using BartPE in this way. I for one can't find it.

Ah well, I'm feeling good today so I'll spare you the clicking and quote directly:
When using BartPE you should know that:
1. It is legal to make a "backup copy" of ANY files from your original Windows XP/2003 media to another media.
2. It is legal to add any other files you wish to the backup media.
3. It is not legal to use a BartPE CD and an installed Windows XP/2003 both at the same time under the same Windows XP/2003 EULA.
4. It is not legal to change any binary files in the process according to the Windows XP/2003 EULA. This makes "winlogon" and "bootscreen" hacks illegal.
5. A BartPE image is (and I quote) "not a properly licensed WinPE". This means that if you want to have a licensed WinPE, you cannot use BartPE. However, you can use a BartPE image under the license of the Windows XP/2003 EULA that came with the BartPE XP/2003 source media.
If you still don't trust Bart's intention with this piece of software, AYL (Ask Your Lawyer).

For an alternative, you may like to check out Band-in-a-box
Lifted from the site: "Band-in-a-Box automatically generates a complete professional quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar and strings in a wide variety of popular styles. (Jazz, Pop, Country, Classical and more.)"
OK this may sound like a shameless plug, but at least it's on-topic.
I've used Band-in-a-box as a modern alternative to the rhythm-box found in most modern midi keyboards and electronic organs (music-minus-one). At least you don't get all weary and bored after listening to it for more than 64 measures...
I for one think that most aleatoric and algorithmic music generators sound soul-less and dull after some time listening to them and are of little use except for some kinds of 'ambient' music. At least the guy who did Band-in-a-box seems to have a decent idea of musical structure, chord progressions, feel etc.

Wow that's an idea we need more of! Please patent it before someone else does (who may just want to impound it, never to be actually used).
Anyway, be happy that my coffee was well away from the blast radius, otherwise I would have to send my keyboard and/or monitor in for a refit...LOL
She wrote down the series of all integers (the sum of n, for n from -infinity to +infinity, n being an integer) Now that's truly a miracle, if ever there was one. Besides being able to do it in a finite time period, she must have needed an awful lot of blackboard, or used infinitely small digits...
What are they thinking, flying a FedEx plane all the way from New York to bring in supplies (ok saw this on CNN, but anyway...) For all I know they would consider flying in Moon dust by Apollo landers to fill the breached levees!
Why oh why can't they save the time and stop the waste of fuel for people who need it and commandeer the surplus of every Wal-Mart in a zwundred mile radius and just start carpet food/water dropping it to those desperate people? That would require only a fraction of the fuel needed to fly in FedEx from friggin' NYC.
I really don't get what's in those peoples' minds anymore.
An individual can download the product (so long as it's not over a network) and use it for non-profit use.
Nope, because transfer from one computer to another is also prohibited. (S)he will have to type it in in a hex editor (or perhaps load it from paper tape punched up by some kind soul who still has the necessary equipment).
[While I'm typing this, the fan in my P4 3Ghz box starts howling. I check cpu load, which is at 100% flat out. I look around and see a Flash ad on the Slashdot page. I close it, the baby stops crying. Bad bad Flash.]
So you may not install Flash on a rack-mount PC mounted on a cart (and used for data acquisition)? According to the definition above, this whole thing is a mobile device. Damn, gotta call off the project. Too bad it has been running tests for 2 years and was just about ready for final deployment. Bummer.
It would be better if a biometric identification could combine several characteristics together in such a way that only a (complete) living person could provide them, for example: - iris ID combined with testing of the accommodation reflex, to make sure a real, functioning eye is looking at the camera. - fingerprinting combined with infrared scanning, to verify that an unaltered living finger is used. - voiceprinting of unique and varying phrases to eliminate recordings. and so on.
Not only that, but ice also acts as a "temperature buffer", like the classic acid/alkaline buffer in chemistry. Consider ice at 0 degrees Centigrade (sorry, I'm a "metric" guy). Changes in the temperature of material in contact with the ice will be compensated for by either water freezing or ice melting. Discarding local effects like supercooling water, the overall temperature of the ice cannot change(!). As long as there is any reasonable amount of ice left, it has a cooling effect on the surrounding air and water in contact with it. When all the ice has melted, the buffer no longer exists and there is nothing to stop a (rapid) rise in temperature of the entire area.
You are not implying that DoD systems are running Windows, are you? Is my idea of mil-spec AS/400s with massive redundancy hardware running applications written in handcrafted assembly where each instruction has been scrutinized and each unit has been tested ten bazillion times just a myth? If so, may <your entity of power and significance> have mercy on you.
Please RTFA (it's not that long). The worm trap is unrelated to the wireless security tech. So yes, I think it could be a threat to P2P, even more so than the infamous TCPIP.SYS maximum concurrent half-open connections limit, because this hits all operating systems, not just Windows.
