It would be nice if the owner could accept the License on a new
computer that has all of the updates installed. Microsoft blocks the
updates early in the game, 1. By requiring authentication to proceed
and 2. By requiring Validation to proceed further.
Not if you go to
<http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/catalog/en/default.asp> as
this is the corporate update site & all the updates should be burned
to CDs or a DVD then applied to the machines so in this way the
machine can be resealed. I don't know what all the fuss is about all
this is described on the OEM portion of the MSFT site.
One could even have the EULA display the first time a client runs XP
without XP being resealed. Personally I don't bother with the OOBE or
resealing as my clients pay me to customize their system so it's
ready to run but I still don't use Windows Update to bring a clients
machine up to date until I've applied all the updates that I already
have. I have a 5m/.5m u/d cable & I still don't want to wait for the
updates to download every time.
