Another free laptop

[Ty Unes]

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.

Thanks for the correction though. It's good to know.

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!
