Let me see if I can make it clearer. Go to the web sites of Walmart,
Best Buy, Longhorn Ass Kicking Trailer Park Computers, Sears, whatever,
and try and find a place to click on to buy a licence. You will ONLY
find a place to click on called "software". For some reason, when people
click on that and add XP Home to their shopping cart, they think they
are buying SOFTWARE. Do you understand me now or do you need me to go a
little slower?

From the same page "You are he Home Page › Electronics › Computers ›
Software"

It also states: The purchaser of this *software*.

This page says nothing about a licence

I rest my case. How many Walmart clerks explain anything but "that will be
$119.98. please"?

Seems to me that WalMart is making the XP information quite clear to
anyone that can read. They even provide the link to the System Builders
Site for licensing information!

below is an excerpt copied directly from the WalMart site:

Microsoft XP Pro IS designed for businesses of any size and individuals
upgrading from Windows 98 SE, Me, NT 4.0 or 2000 Professional.

* This OEM version is intended for system builders only and cannot be
transferred to another PC once it is installed. * The purchaser of
this software is required to comply with the terms of the System
Builder license , including the responsibility of providing all end
user support for the software. * includes 2-button mouse
