I don't want it for sure. I just wonder if I could register it and sell the code to someone else.

Wouldn't put it past them.  Until they can give me a valid reason to "upgrade" past XP, they can just stick those discs in an uncomfortable place.

What, like the back of a Volkswagen?

Grasshopper:
I'm more concerned about all the inevitable DRM crap that M$ will have built in. But that being said, it's only a matter of time before it gets cracked.

However, in the unlikely event that the DRM can't be cracked then I simply won't be buying/using. I'll either stick with XP, move to Linux, or both.

One minute, eleven seconds. :applaud:  I think that's a new world's record.

Cracks get fixed anyway. You'll eventually come to a choice(if using a crack): latest security update or no DRM?

And that is why I must suggest Linux.

Beryl has the prettiness of Vista already, anyway. It has 3d desktops and transparent windows and animations when you minimize/maximize. And it's customizable.
