Very well, I stand corrected. However, I'm still left with how many
people who sell used gear really have all the stuff needed to make the
transfer legit? I'm betting not many.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the correction though. It's good to know.<br>

<pre wrap="">Just a side note. I believe that 'legal' copy of Windows XP is *not* legal once you give the laptop away. If I understand correctly, there are 3 parts to a legal MS license, the original owner, the machine, and the COA. Remove any one of these and the copy is invalid. Not that MS would know or that anyone really cares, I just can't miss an opportunity to show just how ugly MS really is. Buy (or receive) a used laptop and MS wants you to buy your own copy of Windows!

That's mistaken. Here's the section of the EULA text that deals with
transferring the software.
4. TRANSFER-Internal. You may move the Product to a different
Workstation Computer. After the transfer, you must
completely remove the Product from the former Workstation
Computer. Transfer to Third Party. The initial user of the
Product may make a one-time transfer of the Product to
another end user. The transfer has to include all
component parts, media, printed materials, this EULA, and
if applicable, the Certificate of Authenticity. The
transfer may not be an indirect transfer, such as a
consignment. Prior to the transfer, the end user receiving
the transferred Product must agree to all the EULA terms.
No Rental. You may not rent, lease, lend or provide
commercial hosting services to third parties with the
Product.
The relevant portion is the "Transfer to Third Party" section. You
can read the entire EULA here:
