  "You should contact the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or the
system builder directly to replace Microsoft software that was
distributed with your computer."

  I've called Microsoft in the past for OEM media replacement, and
they try *really hard* to get you to go back to the OEM.  A friend had
lost their OEM media for a computer where the OEM was no longer doing
business.  Microsoft tracked down the company that bought their
assets, and made *them* ship a set of *their* OEM media to me.

  I'm planning on giving it a shot anyway, but I'm pretty sure MSFT
will just tell me to fsck off.
