All this Microsoft statement every meant was that if you acquired a PC that had had MS windows on then you were entitled to it IF you wanted it. Perfectly reasonable if that is what you want.
You obviously have difficulty reading or comprehending (from www.microsoft.com): Q. Why should a donor include the operating system with their PC donation? A. It is a legal requirement that pre-installed operating systems remain with a machine for the life of the machine. If a company or individual donates a machine to your school, it must be donated with the operating system that was installed on the PC.
There's plenty of real stuff to attack so lets gets those sights focussed!
Have another go to see if you can detect any MS FUD in the above paragraphs and then perhaps you can advise us whether it's appropriate for that company to peddle such a lie and whether it's proper to focus upon it in such a forum as this. -- Frank *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Boroughbridge.
