Read your MS license and then go visit apnic. Now show the similarity to
licenses/allocation of IPs ranges.

You didn't so I commented on both OEM and full licenses.

Only with the hardware. Where did you say with hardware? Now show the
similarity to IPs ranges.

You claimed I was wrong about selling IP, despite the fact that others had
already confirmed my original answer. In addition, a quick look at apnic
would show you we were right.

You claimed that it's the same as selling XP. I pointed out the MS license
agreement has specific clauses about selling/transferring the license, which
you obviously haven't read, and that it had nothing in common with selling
IP ranges.

You can sell you XP under certain circumstances but you can't sell IPs.

Can I buy IP addresses?
No. IP addresses are a shared public resource and are not for sale, as
effective management of this resource is vital to the ongoing health of the
Internet. However, if you obtain IP addresses from APNIC, you will have the
right to continue using those addresses provided that you use them in
accordance with APNIC allocation and assignment policies and provided that
your membership remains current (or, in the case of non-members, that you
continue to pay the required maintenance fees).

Then feel free to point out the similarities between your XP license and
apnic's policies, which is what you claimed.
