The point is you have to "buy" the qualifying product at the same time as the OEM OS. It cannot already be in the computer. Heck, I know people who have bought a $19 drive to qualify for OEM purchase since the savings can be $100 + over retail.

I have one that came built into my HP - has 4 slots. One is supposed to be for SD cards but I could never get a card to go into it. Card goes in fine to my printer but not the computer and the slot looks identical. So, I don't know what the problem is there. This may sound like a stupid question but wouldn't an internal card on a Mac not qualify as a Windows hardware thing? ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
