| 218583 | 2004-02-29 17:05:00 | Just wondering how many people actually hae a COA. When I buy new software of any make or sort all the packing and paperwork go in the rubbish bin. I don't think I have ever looked at a coa. What's this business about only being able to use windows on one machine??? Do you mean one machine at a time?? I bought XP the day it was released. Anything had to be better than 98se. My copy of xp is now on it's third machine. I always buy a computer without an o/s. The first machine was dumped. The second was sold without o/s . What's illegal about that? How would MS,or anyone else know which computer the O?S was bought for? BTW I think this activation business is a bit of a joke. My xp has always activated without query whenever I have installed it. ie. on three computers plus an upgrade, new m/b and cpu. The same applies for MS Office. Jack |

Now whether you choose to read the fine print and conform to what you sign up to, or, just ignore it as a lot of twaddle is an individual decision. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 218585 | 2004-02-29 20:20:00 | JJJJJ, you're perfectly entitled to do what you have done as long as it's a retail version of windows and is one one machine at a time. Retail COA's are usually on the CD cover or front cover of the manual AFAIK. Not sure whats going on with your activation, just go with the flow. Cheers Murray P |
