Actually about installing Windows on a used PC sold sans HD. You actually can
install Windows on them without buying a new license. The OEM Windows license
is tied to the MB serial number in the Bios and you can install the same
Windows version as was OE and register it without buying anything. (At least
that is how it worked on the last HP I did that with.) No more looking up a
number on a sticker required.

If buying it for our use with LinuxCNC, who in their right mind would
want to install windows on it?
Boggles whats left of my mind,
Any windows installed in my house had better be made with glass. Or they
will be replaced with
glass.
I've had my rounds with the people in Redmond back about NT-351, called
everything in
the book including pirate because the housekeeping in 351 deleted its
main ,dll. Since
it happened more than once, I can only believe it was a random timer so
you had to buy
another $400 copy of 351 to get the library back.
Despite my having the license number, microcrap refused to send me the
library, so I
wound up fedexing the drive to the tech that set it up in the first
place, got it back the
next day and it only cost us around 10 thousand for loss of compensation
cuz we were
airing the wrong commercials. For 3 days.
Me and microcrap agreed to disagree and to this day since then the
lifetime of a windows
machine I buy to get the hardware has been measured in hours.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
