Volume OS licenses are upgrade only. You either need to buy Windows with the computer (OEM), or buy the FPP (retail box). If you're buying this hardware and then using a volume license for Windows, you're violating the license agreement and subjecting yourself to legal liability. Have a nice day. > What sucks is that the bare bones MSI Wind ($150) costs only slightly > more than an OEM copy of Windows Vista Business ($140). This is not a new development. There's a reason even Dell is selling Linux systems these days. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
