This is an astoundingly rude response. I have spent some time this 
morning looking this up on the internet (I don't have an OEM copy of 
Windows to see its license). It seems very clear that in the US (not 
in the EU) it is not legal to transfer an OEM copy of Windows to a 
machine other than the one on which it shipped.  It also appears that 
lots of people do it. But you DO have to agree to the license terms 
when you install an OS.

The original poster did not ask if he could get by with doing it. And 
he did not ask if was a law that people agree with, and he did not 
ask whether the law doesn't apply in cases where you don't like the 
company the law benefits. The question was whether it was legal.

What "facts" are you wanting Mr. Ameeti to come up with? What 
contrary facts are you offering besides the "fact" that you don't 
like Microsoft and  the "fact" that you can probably get by with 
using an OEM disk on a non-original computer?
