False.
The original Microsoft OEM operating system software cannot be transferred
to another computer.
The OEM Licence is for sale only to System Builders, Resellers, and
Hardware Purchasers.
False.
All OEM software must be bundled with hardware
False.
The End User License Agreement (EULA) for OEM software, including Windows
XP, states that the software is licensed as a single integrated product in
connection with the hardware
when distributed to end users and distribution of OEM software to other
end users is a violation of the license agreement issued by the
manufacturer.
False.
Purchasers of these versions must agree not to violate the terms of such
distribution policies and to accept all liability for compliance with
end-user restrictions.

Be nice, society already sucks!
YOU be nice. Your erroneous advice already sucks! I can buy as many legit
generic OEMs without hardware that I want and if I so choose to sell what
I buy, that is nobody's business but mine and the purchaser.
