For an example, to buy XP Home direct from Microsoft, go to:
http://www.microsoft.com/products/in...33e0c&type=ovr
Other products have their own direct sales pages. Need more?

I stand corrected but most people don't buy it there but at an approved by
MS store that says software, not license.

That said, I took a gander at the MS page for Spain and not one version of
XP is offered there.

What Alias is getting at is that all web sites, and stores, sell you
software. Don't they all have software departments, T.V. departments,
appliance departments etc.

Yet after they have sold you the "software", they try to tell you that
you
have bought a license. Well, people DID NOT buy it in the license
department - did they?

And the simple fact is that the store that sold it didn't provide full
disclosure while MS does clearly provide it. Maybe you should be
complaining to the stores since they are the ones not providing the
information to the customers - MS clearly makes this information
available
to any that ask/look for it.

Microsoft sells direct? Since when? Those stores are representing
Microsoft and Microsoft doesn't do anything to correct them. It's called
scamming.
