In that article Mr Finn refers to "this new Agreement ... at <http:// 
oem.microsoft.com/script/contentpage.aspx?PageID=553068>". I can't  
see that, as I'm not enrolled in Microsoft's US Partner Programme.  
Can you post a full copy of it, please?

It's really not clear that the right "to distribute an individual  
software license" is something that the end-user agrees to when he  
purchases an OEM copy of Windows for his own use, so you have still  
failed to establish the legality of the matter.
