By the time you talk biannually then at that point there would also be

It's only illegal if you don't already own a qualifying product. You
may remember when I installed Win7 on this machine I had to call MS.
They specifically walked me through installing my upgrade product to a
new bare drive. But I was replacing Vista; just not to the same drive.

It would be difficult to find someone that didn't have a copy of win2k/winxp
