Hi,

When upgrading someone who got nabbed with WGA,
(who "thought" they had a legitimate OEM copy), does
Microsoft allow for us resellers to sell them
a new OEM version, or are they stuck with
the more expensive retail version?

If someone showed up at your place of business due to an
invalid copy of Windows XP, would you actually worsen their
situation by selling them an OEM copy when the sale is not
qualified? As the seller, you are expected to know and if
you made a mistake, nobody, including Microsoft, is going to
back you up. All you are doing is pushing units...just push
the right one.
