what are the T&C's of the warranty that you have to provide for Windows? As an OEM, installing an OEM edition of Windows, you end up being the support for the OS rather than Microsoft (smart move on MS's part.) I don't know the terms very well (since it's been a long, long, long time that I built computers in a shop) but does Microsoft spell out a specific time limit that you need to support their OS for?
My support for the OS means I'll help you out if you have a question on how to do something - format a floppy, for instance, or copy a file. Fixing a problem on the OS doesn't fall under free support. Nor does fixing virus and spyware damage that MS' horribly flawed OS allowed in. :)
