I think Tompe's referring to a guy who resold an OEM copy of Windows, or at least the license sticker and system recovery CD. MS tried to sue him, and ended up losing because the code on the sticker had never been activated.

Which is probably why the Dell Duo I bought didn't come with a system recovery CD, so the Win7 license it came with can't functionally be resold and I can't recoup the $100 or so it added to the cost of manufacture.
