6. Keep a phone ready to call MS and beg them to let you reinstall
windows. Make sure it has a speakerphone.
Telling people they can spend $100 bucks on a new copy of the same
software that is killing their computer already, or switch to linux,
really makes most people think. Some people cough up $100 bucks
anyway, but I don't install Windows unless they've got the CD and the
license key.
I was more referring to the fact that sometimes MS puts up a fit when
you try to reinstall XP - I've had to call them a few times to get them
to accept the new install, even with a valid CD-Key. Not fun.
