I don't think I've ever seen a PC with a non-OEM version of Windows 
installed. (As far as anyone can tell, "OEM" means "25% cheaper with no 
apparent difference in functionality".) However, checking the fine 
print, it does appear that there exist versions of Windows for which you 
*can* legitimately transfer the license. I didn't know that was possible.

Uhuh. And how many of those copies will have been sold over the last 
FOUR YEARS?

Seriously, there's no chance that anybody has any [legal] copies left.
