Just a side note. I believe that 'legal' copy of Windows XP is *not* legal once you give the laptop away. If I understand correctly, there are 3 parts to a legal MS license, the original owner, the machine, and the COA. Remove any one of these and the copy is invalid. Not that MS would know or that anyone really cares, I just can't miss an opportunity to show just how ugly MS really is. Buy (or receive) a used laptop and MS wants you to buy your own copy of Windows!
That would be illegal.
