However Microsucks considers this "Piracy"... but I say piss on MS.. If I buy an OEM OS and want to transfer it from one PC to another, I damn well will.
I'd like to follow that principle, but on the other hand I'm stuck on the "either it's legal or it's not" prblem. If it's not allowed to buy an OEM version like this, I might as well just get a free version? Ebay has an OEM policy which says that some hardware must accompany OEM software - can anyone tell me if this actually legalises the software or is just to protect eBay?
