Indeed it does.
A confession/rant: the Windows relevant content of the User Gide has
all been second-hand since some six months ago. I own two copies of MS
Windows (32&64 bit), each purchased at full retail for specific
consulting jobs and more expensive than the hardware they were running
on. Early this year I had to replace a failed motherboard on the system
running the two Windows (and other non-Windows) images. Everything else
ran fine after the mobo replacement, but the Windows images required a
revalidation. Ok, so grab a cold beer, find a comfy chair, call the
1-800 number. How bad can it be? Well, I was treated to the full
Revalidation from Hell experience, arguing repeatedly with a succession
of Microsoft droids over a two day period that yes, I had only installed
the copy *one* time on *one* disk drive on *one* system and no, I'm
*not* a crook. I did finally get a revalidation code for the 32bit XP,
but then accidentally trashed that disk a couple of months later.
I haven't been bored, idle, or desperate enough since to want to tackle
a reinstall and another revalidation. I'll gladly incorporate any
contributed feedback into the User Guide, but until/if another paying
client needs Microsoft specific support I won't be doing any hands-on
work with Windows.
