Re: [H] Here's a weird ruling from MS

OPK & custom install disks are only a problem when you build part dujour 
systems which is NOT what "good" OEM's do. Even so it does not take much 
to make a custom restore disk & there is a BS (as in bull) M$ cert for 
doing so on the OEM site (which I can't take as I am not affiliated with 
a acttive OEM).

Very true, however microsoft is changing the OEM rules to make it so 
OEM's can't give out non-restore type disks, to lessen the possiblity 
that the disks will be used to install illegal copies of the 
software.  It's not

I will go out of business when Microsoft quits furnishing OEM CD's and 
requires me to personalize the restore process to my computer. In 
another post I mentioned how for over 10 years power users have been 
formatting and doing a clean install on each new name brand computer 
they buy. It runs better! So now Microsoft is going to take that 
privilege???
