Re: Microsoft XP Pro OEM

Carey,

That might be Microsoft's claim.

As others here in these groups have pointed out -- I recently posted an
excerpt from Bruce Chambers regarding the various Terms and Conditions
within the EULA -- no one in the USA has YET challenged Microsoft's 'wishes'
within its various product EULAs.

However, it appears that in Germany someone DID challenge Microsoft
regarding this....and Microsoft lost.

So, for you to state what you did to the original poster might not be
universally true any longer.

Not correct. You can only sell a computer manufacturer's
OEM Windows XP recovery CD and COA if you also sell the
computer they originally came with....a complete package.

Dear Microsoft-Team,

i am german and i heared, that the german BGH (highest court in germany)
says, that it is allowed to sell used System Recovery CD´s with the CoA as
a
full Microsoft Operating System. Microsoft lost a claim in this case.

Is this correct? Can i sell here in Germany my Recovery CD´s of Windowx
XP
with the CoA if i want to buy a Windows Vista.

Thank you.

Heiko
