Tell me, Kurt. You claim you bought XP. Can you create copes of XP

No. That wouldn't wouldn't be a fair use, and I've never advocated the
distribution of copyright material to others outside of the privacy of
the home. And I've never bought Windows XP, nor do I use Windows XP in
my home. Any future Microsoft products are dead to me!


But. You "Bought" Windows XP. You transffered cash and got a Receipt.
Since you bought, and "OWN" XP. You should be able to do whatever you
want with it. You Own it now. According to you. How is it you "Own"
something, yet have no rights with it??

Microsoft bought DOS form Seattle Computer Products' Tim Patterson, the
creator of DOS. Since they bought DOS. They had the rights to copy,
improve, and sell DOS. Why don't you have these rights with Windows now
that you "Bought" it?

Could it be that you never "bought" Windows. Just merely a license to
use it?
