Sorry, Zonie, no insult intended. I think it's always worth bearing in mind that you never know who might be read this thread, and sometimes I think it's worth stating what you and I might consider to be obvious, but others might not know. And in particular, Windows licensing certainly is confusing. I can point you to any number of places where folks who should know better have stated that it's legal to use an OEM version of Windows 7 on a computer that the builder is going to use, rather than resell. In fact, Win7 OEM licensing specifically prohibits this, and explicitly states that the builder in this case must purchase a retail copy of Windows.
