ALL stores in Spain ONLY sell OEM with NO hardware. Are you telling me that MS doesn't know about this? You cannot get a full retail version ANYWHERE. Now, please, tell me how the retailers are being "unethical".

We've covered this more times that needs to be covered -

And you still don't get it!

The Systems Builders Website clearly states that you can only sell OEM XP to end users if you install it on their computer. You can transfer OEM media from one Systems Builder to another Systems Builder at any time.

There is nothing that indicates you've signed up to become a Systems Builder and noting that indicates your vendor has asked you if you are a Systems Builder - so, according to all the official documentation I can access your vendors are breaking the SB rules as posted, which also makes their actions unethical.

It's quite simple, and no matter how many ways you want to spin it, the facts are as I stated.


Not in Spain. I don't know, but I suspect it has to do with either EU or Spanish law in defense of the consumer. You can't tell me that MS wouldn't notice that NO retail XPs are sold in Spain and that millions of OEMs are sold. Think, Leythos!
