Not only that, but Microsoft does sell copies of disks that have no licences attached. They arent meant to be sold like this, but are instead used for larger setups where it is impractical to buy a box set for each machine. The user then reports how many installs they made and purchase that many licences. I have one such disk (given to me by a microsoft rep, no less ).

That said, this would mean that these copies they are selling are not legal to use--they have no license. Thats a no go, especially for a business. Sorry.
