So, if I build a system - install Windows 7 OEM - sell the computer to my wife for $1 - I'm okay?
BTW: I love Bott's "Windows 7 Inside/Out." Good resource.

Questions of legality are always iffy - where do you draw the line. But I think in this case, the M$ lawyers got caught in their own underwears. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
