I know of many computers - 3 sitting here at the moment (mine) that do not have
a COA sticker on
them - couldn't be bothered.
My laptop has a COA sticker but the OS does not match what's installed. The
machine came with WinXP
pro but now has the "School's" corporate (for want of a better word) copy of XP
pro installed and
set up for the network and idiosyncrasies of the RM / M$ server 2003 system.
As wayne said "magical jellybean" will grab the key for nothing. How can you
sell a windows CD
without a licence? (legally).
