Thanks for responding. But, it seems pretty silly not to
be able to do this if the updates are free, the CD is
free, the shipping is free, everything is free from
Microsoft. As long as nothing is changed, I don't see
why they would have a problem. It isn't like we would be
stealing money from them. If you think about it, we
would be helping Microsoft save money from manufacturing
and shipping costs which they are eating by doing this
for free (now there's a thought, a customer helping one
of the most successful, profitable companies on the
planet save money).

Thanks for your reply.
