That's the problem, XP isn't worth $199. Shouldn't have to pay more than
half that for the retail version. What a rip!

Why should you? You didn't pay retail price for that copy of XP. It's
sold at a discount and tied to the hardware. And the hardware vendor
is the person who has to support the OS, not Microsoft.
You want to shift your OS around to new PC's? Spend the $199 and buy
the boxed copy of XP.

I kinda think this sucks, though. If I bought an OEM computer and I
decide to trash it, I feel as though I ought to be able to use the OS
on a new system. Is that unfair to MS?
