Activation on triple-boot machine question

I have Windows Vista, XP Home and XP Pro all on one PC. I bought Office
Ultimate 2007. Can I install then activate Office on all 3 OS's? I assume
this is OK because I will be able to use only one copy of Office at a time
AND activation is tied to the hardware (which is the same in all 3
activations).

Am I correct? Thanks for an authoritative answer.

If the EULA states that its for a single installation on a single PC then no

The answer is "yes", it's on one PC and that's the whole point. The EULA
doesn't state the number of installations, it states the number of PC's.

That's a debatable legal point; however you will still have the problem of
Activating three installations & persuading MS that what you are doing is OK

Ummmm... you are missing the whole point. If you had bothered to read
Section 2 "Installation and Use Rights" in the Office 2007 Software
License Terms before replying to DL, then you would know the SLT
specifically states that a separate partition counts as a separate
licensed device, so the answer is "NO".
