Pro OEM vs Retail box

[Gary Tait]

If I sell the machine - would that count as a transfer and they
couldn't register it in their name? Sounds like their problem.

If you sell the machine with the OEM OS, it is okay. You just cannot
transfer the OS apart from the PC, or install it yourself on another
PC.

But if the records of activation are gone after 120 days, who's to know.

Nobody is, but it is a EULA violation nonetheless.

Yes what is?


Prove it. Just because a contract is agree to, doesn't mean it's
legally enforceable by a court of law. Or don't you know that only a
real court can rule that a contract is legal or not?

Just because nobody has proven MS wrong or right does not mean the
EULA means nothing.

It is an *alleged* EULA violation. Funny thing about that Due Process
of Law thingy, people are innocent, until proven guilty. Go figure!

It does in my home until proven by the preponderance of the evidense
presented in a real court of law, not because some corporate lawyers say
otherwise.

Greetings --

You'll need to read the OEM Office EULA to be certain (I don't
have any OEM Office CDs available to check), but I'd be very surprised
if there were any significant differences.
