That makes more sense, but not much more. Winblows, even on pre-installed computers, costs something, and that cost is passed on to the final consumer. So despite its cost being buried in a sticker price, you pay for Winsux on a pre-installed computer. In my way of thinking, if I pay for it, I have the right to sell it-- even separately, if I choose. Miark
