Re: How should I buy XP Pro?

If they did not provide you with the media to reinstall and the license
code - you don't own it anyway.

I've read disclaimers about how people buy rights to use software, not
the software itself. But are you saying that in the thousands of
laptops sold without media, the operating system (or the right to use
it) is owned by the manufacturer and not the laptop owner?

Is license code the same as the COA?

If you get it used - this discussion has no point.
A person selling it *not as a business* and *used* really has no
obligation to you at all (beyond what you get in writing as the buyer)

It was sold used by a business. In any case my need to know the best
way to get XP on media (the subject of this thread) remains the same.
(I have since solved that problem - I think.)

- buyer beware.

Of course. But in my opinion the massive "no media" campaign was
overwhelming to a general public and criminal. But then lots of
corporate operations are.
