Nice post. I do however have one question regarding this sentense:

For applications like Microsoft SQL, Exchange and BizzTalk, the “short-term” restriction has been removed and you are allowed to move the application instance multiple times, just as long as you stay within the same server farm. A server farm consists of up to two data centers each physically located in the following areas: In a time zone that is within four hours of the local time zone of the other (Coordinated Universal Time [UTC] and not DST), and/or within the European Union (EU) and/or European Free Trade Association (EFTA).

Would'nt this only apply to processor based licenses and if you assign licenses to every physical CPU that you have in for instance your DRS cluster?

So if you buy Server / CAL licenses the 90days rule still apply?
