indisputably illegal.
It also doesn't address OEM software being sold on with a small
component of related hardware.
Would selling '2nd hand' OEM COA's be better - legally - if an item of
hardware accompanied it from the original machine (memory stick for
instance)? Just a thought!
The ones I had cancelled by Ebay were the COA's on their own. From
what they have on their site about what is acceptable if you are
selling the manual/disc/coa as they came from MS then they allow
those.
I've listed some sealed XP's as sold with a random untested stick of
SDRAM and they've not pulled that, no one's bought any as they are
cheapskates. :-)
You can buy OEM versions from most of the online places which in
theory you shouldn't?
