I'd like to know the source of this story.... Sounds like urban folklore to me... The OEM Windows license is bundled with and tied to the hardware and automatically transfers with it. Now, if these recycling projects were taking bulk OEM CD's purchased off the grey market, and bundling them with recycled hardware without having a redistribution agreement, thats another story entirely. Ditto, if the EULA for the original system was lost and not kept with it when the system was recycled... _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
