| 443765 | 2006-04-04 10:15:00 | Just a nagging query biting me up the rump. Say someone gives me their Windows XP CD (Legitl one one of course) and asks me to put all the available cirtical updates on it. Is it legal for me to make them a copy of that CD but with all the up to date critical patches slipstreamed as a new cd? And then give them this CD back as well as their original XP CD? With nothing altered/removed from the CD? |

And since its the other persons cd to begin with, and all you're doing is slipstreaming SP2 and updates. I dont think its illegal. I've slipstreamed Windows 2000 and SP4 and XP and SP2 here. Nothing wrong with either. As I own both. |

| 443768 | 2006-04-04 21:55:00 | No problem with that as the CD doesn't have the license on it. I do it all the time here when I need to reinstall Windows XP on a clients machine. I use my CD, that has all the latest patches etc, to install it but I get the Product key / License key from the sticker on the client's computer. |
