Because you'e got the licence and presumably the disks. I know this isn't the case, never seen a comp. for sale without an OS installed, so is this just another modern IT anomoly? Cheers mc |

| 131831 | 2003-03-28 23:50:00 | Uh... *slightly confused*... When you sell a computer, I think you'll find it says in the EULA and all those other things that you must pass on all media used to install the OS, the licence, and, basically, everything, right down to the box (as that usually has a "this is not a fake product" sticker/hologram on it). And that was only for Microsoft Windows. |

| 131833 | 2003-03-29 01:16:00 | There are 2 type of licence..Retail and OEM. Retail version you can move from PC to PC with the provison that it is on 1 PC at any time. The OEM version (usually that supplied when you buy a new PC) has to go with the PC when it is sold. | Pheonix (280) | ||
