I am speaking of a personal opinion...

If I buy a laptop with Windows 2000 (or Windows XP Professional) pre-
installed, it is the computer that is licensed. The license is in the
form of a sticker with the installation codes which is affixed to the
bottom. I might be inclined to assume that THIS computer has a valid
client license for Windows Terminal Server irrespective of the
technicalities that you have cited.

It is possible that a court of law could rule against me favoring the
specific language of the licensing restrictions of Windows Terminal
Server and it is possible that a court of law could agree that this
machine has a valid license affixed to it. I am not a lawyer and I have
not done this nor am I aware of any litigation to this topic or similar
which could be presented as precedent.

I suspect that you single quoted 'injured' because of my use of the word
'inured' which wasn't a typo but is actually a word.

too deep for me.

No, actually I missed your use of the word 'inured'. Yes, I know it to be a
word with legal (and other) meaning.

I quoted 'injured' meaning legally harmed by the mis-acts of an attorney
where the client is legally harmed. I should have just said harmed.
