Subject: Re: Retail v OEM
Who writes the EULA for the OEM versions? MS or the OEM? If it's the
latter, then -- in the case of a mom & pop store -- they could allow it to
be transferred if the original machine dies. I know the big boys aren't
likely to modify their EULAs in that manor.
Naturally Microsoft writes the EULA for all versions.
As explained in a previous post, "if the original machine dies" bring in a
Intel Celeron or P4 (I stock those motherboards) computer I built (or Dell
or anyone) and if the CPU is good, I will go to bat for you and save your
OEM Windows. Been there (on the phone with Microsoft) done that and have
given away those Microsoft and Intel T shirts I got.
