    hehe, true but it's pretty decent, though I should invest in another 1GB of Ram.

    Did he give you the mother board it came with ??

    If not they you can rat him out to the BSA , you might even get a % of the €127,000 !

    Isn't a sealed OEM copy only linked to a motherboard once the seal is broken? That's the impression I got from the stickering on mine.

    I know several people who have bought and are buying Vista, which is in contrast to my experience with XP where everybody either got OEM copies with new PC's or used illegal copies. I'd be interested to see some figures regarding the amount of retail copy sales they've had though, particularly for Home Premium.
