| 147460 | 2003-05-26 05:54:00 | ROTFLMAO WTF :^O What a clever idea! If the box doesn't have an HDD to carry an OS, MS has no traction. You can't license an OS to a box that can't run it! I wonder if that would work for other suppliers, and what if you took in your licensed copy and asked for that to be installed instead of a new OEM. :( They are bound to have a clause in the contract that stops the latter option, though some smaller assemblers probably wouldn't give a monkeys' and MS wouldn't be able to audit their hardware sales anyway. Just goes to show, where there's a will there's a way, and it look legal too. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
