Bwa ha ha!! What a long-winded excuse so you don't have to admit you
were wrong!! ROFL!!

A typical Sugiesque whining drone....



Not only that - but he's wrong about the license, as well!!

No matter WHO you are, an OEM License is tied to the machine it's frist
installed on.

If removed from that particular machine, and you are an OEM, you can
install that key to another machine *if* you have a multi-license, so
you don't know as much as *you* think you do. I have long ago however
use all my keys for my multipack.

Not if you've passed the machine on with the OS, you can't!! - no matter
WHAT happens after that point.

Did I not say or did you fail to read in my post, that the person that
bought the machine from me, didn't want the WinME that was on it, so I
took it off and put on the WinXP Pro that they bought? iow, the machine
was never sold with the WinME installed.


If you don't knwo what you said - let me remind you.

To quote.....
"The system the WinME was on has been
sold and that user bought a retail WinXP Pro and I put it on and they let me
keep my WinME OEM CD because they had no use for it. I called the user and
they sold the machine long time ago because they wanted a better system then
a 1Ghz."

The CLEAR implication of this is that you passed the machine to the user
WITH ME INSTALLED - and the user later installed ME. Nowhere do you mention
that YOU installed it, or that you installed it before the machine left your
workshop - in fact the clear implication is that the user was doing you a
favour by letting you keep the CD.
