<Snip> Use that licence on another PC and they've got you by the short and curlies - but they CANNOT stop you from giving away, buying or selling a PC with no OS.
</Snip> This is true, Microsoft itself cannot stop you from selling or reselling a pc new or second hand but an australian law can (i have no idea which one). >From what i understand, a computer system may only be sold if that computer has an os on it...that os can be anything...it can be a cutdown linux installation with nothing but kernel and base packages...this is so that the person buyign the pc can see that it is operation and working otherwise the buyer has no idea if its going to work when they get it home... I just felt i should clear that up a little more so that if anyone plans on selling a pc they might remember this...but that doesn't mean that what i've said is entirely true and it doesn't mean i can be held responsble for anything. its just a word of advice. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
