good idea. Do you think it's legal?
May that'd be an excellent idea if Microsoft refuses to refund
the cost of unused OS (as Linux advocates did on 2/14)

Okay. In the meantime though, I'm going to upload all of my unused and non-refundable Microsoft operating systems and applications to the web so that someone who has actual use for it can just have my license. I am encouraging others to do the same.

Weren't you just complaining that MS was doing something illegal? A bit hypocritical, aren't we?

Anyway, what does the license agreement say? It says return it to to where you purchased it from. Meaning return in to the computer dealer, not to MS.

Now that's an interesting idea.
