  I will say the same thing. If MS screws you up, you can jolly well buy a new XP CD. You may also wish to demand your money back from the TS.
  
  It won't work, period. And for goodness sake, one can't downgrade from Vista to XP because you like it. MS only states that you can downgrade from Vista to XP if you are using Vista Business or Ultimate. Anything lesser, upgrade your machine, then pay to downgrade.
  
  For the free way, wipe data off the hard disk before installing XP.
  
  And those using Dell, you can contact Dell to downgrade for you.
  
  Or see their KB article: http://support.ap.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=sg&dl=false&l=en&s=gen&docid=3A7C20B8B68CF344E040A68F5B286605&doclang=en&cs=

  you sure anot ?coz you only know to do thing the MS way only.

  Sure. I'm not so dumb.
  
  Dell and all the other branded names CDs - are known as OEM SLP CDs.
  
  OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer
  SLP - System Locked Preinstallation
  
  Together, it's just one license which has been pre-activated and locked down to just a particular set of hardware.
  
  That's a reason why such CDs will never install on another one, unless the specs are the same. But even that offers no guarantee, because once activated, the license is deemed as used and WGA will treat the machine as a pirated one.
  
  As for the Vista to XP issue, read here: http://www.news.com/The-XP-alternative-for-Vista-PCs/2100-1016_3-6209481.html
  
  There's also another upgrade issue: http://www.whatthetech.com/2007/01/29/vista-upgrade-invalidates-your-xp-key/
  
  Upgraded PC = cannot downgrade. Effectively, you have to do this:
  
  1. Wipe the data off the hard disk (either using softwares or wipe out the current one using another OS other than Windows)
  2. Buy a new Vista INSTALLATION disc
  3. Buy a new XP INSTALLATION disc
  
  For anybody who has upgraded to Vista not using the installation CD but UPGRADE CD, you have no other choices. You can't downgrade without buying a new Vista and XP CD. Of course, you could save money buy just wiping it out and not installing Vista again.
  
  For those who got a brand new machine, you can only perform a downgrade if your OS meets CNET's article requirements. Those who bought from some branded names companies, your bet is don't try. They might have upgraded the XP to Vista rather than a fresh install, so as to save costs.
  
  The best answer is to call up your manufacturer and ask them to perform a downgrade for you.

  So?
  
  I don't do things the MS way, you gotta be clear. Rules are rules, I won't break them, period. If you want to bypass, no problems.
  
  By selling them, you are breaking them. They definitely don't look new, we don't know if the license key has been activated before.
  
  If you can't guarantee that the license key has not been activated before, you don't sell. Consumers have the rights to get the full product.
  
  And note that the stickers are there. It's for distribution with Dell PCs. Although it states Dell PCs, the way MS works, it will only work with a particular model of Dell PC, not ALL.
  
  Get this to your head. MS sets the rules, I don't.

  How many will follow is not my problem.
  
  My only problem is to find trouble here.
  
  To sell the OS, you just have to answer two questions:
  
  1. Has the OS been installed?
  
  2. Has it been activated?
  
  If the answer to both is Yes, this will explain my presence here and the reason why I'm looking for trouble.
  
  The only way to prove?
  
  Get another Dell user to install it and try activating it. If he/she can't activate it, it's only fair that he/she gets back their money.
  
  And to that issue, you have to find one who uses that particular model(s) of Dell machine that the CDs are for.

  To save cost and ask for more trouble is typical Singaporean. And to exploit that kiasu nature of us is even more Singaporean.
  
  What more can I say?
