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!
