I'm not sure if I made it into one of those photos - that might be the back
of my head at the upper left of the photo of Eric Raymond.

The question is, did you avoid paying for it anyway?
I've noticed in the past that many PCs being sold without a Windows
license cost the same as the ones with. I've wondered if that's Dell
pocketing the difference, or whether Microsoft is still getting all
(or some) of the money, just not giving us the license. They've been
nailed in court for doing so before, so this isn't baseless
speculation.
