Just a thought. Aren't you allowed to transfer (sell) the license as long as you transfer all that came with it as in CD, books etc.? ----- Original Message ----- Message: 13 Date: Wed, 07 May 2003 21:17:19 -0700 From: Lee Einer To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Subject: Re: New Coaster! Reply-To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us On that note, I just purchased (tonight) a new laptop. Only problem is, it comes with XP. I asked if I could get another rebate if I got it without the stinky OS, but they thought I was kidding. So now I have to ask- is the Microsoft CD that comes with it a coaster, or can I get a rebate from MS for the OS which I will never use? Lee Einer
