In Response To: Re: Am I entitled to a Windows OS CD with my new system or not? (Bill Hely)

Thanks to all of you for your posts.

I have no paper license, no hologram microsoft sticker on the machine. And I am disabled, do not drive. That is the reason I couldn't "window shop," the box before purchasing. I called the full-service dealer to custom order an XP Prof SP2 P4 system via telephone.

It never occurred to me to place an order for a "legal" as opposed to illegal install. I simply asked for pricing assumming that a licensed version of the OS was included in that pricing.

Now what do I do? I want a legal, licensed copy of MS XP! I'll settle for the paper license and order the CD from Microsoft if necessary.

I cannot afford a retail copy- I can afford OEM pricing. I am disabled, assumed it was included as I paid just over $1,000 for the system and specified at the outset the OS I wanted.

How do you think I should proceed in this matter?

Thanks all-

Larry
