Regarding COA stickers... I AM the PC maker. I also make exactly zero profit, as a good citizen excercising his one gift to the community. I have done this a dozen times or more with no hiccups, no knocks on the door at midnight, and no frozen PC's.

All windows updates work fine. Windows activation works fine. What more do you need? A signed letter from Bill Gates?

Spend the $100 if your conscience so desires.

But I can't see one single problem with a $55 COA on my PC with full Microsoft-condoned activation and then full Windows updates up the wazoo, and then over a year of uninterrupted XP perfection.

C'mon people, it's the Malaysian pirates they're after - selling 100,000 copies at $2.47 each that they're after. Not the intelligent - legal liscense acquiring Americans/Canadians - that we are. We just don't want to give the $40 cut to the retailer.
