that's the beauty of microsoft products.
some people put their license that has the
registration key in the jewel case with the 
disk.
Also.. if you ever bought Office Pro then
you'd know that the manual is next to 
worthless in explaining just about anything
MicroCrap thinks they can save a bunch
of money by putting everything in online help
and giving you that damned little clippy guy
that you can ask questions to.
SO.... 
even though it says not to sell your OEM
disk.. you CAN in fact sell it.  They mean 
that people can't go to stores and buy the
thing... go into a store and buy from a rack
of OEM disks instead of the boxed version.

Its kinda like this.. remember a while back
when COSTCO first came out?  well there 
you could buy packages of product that
said right on them not to be sold individually
bulk is cheaper...   SOOOOO......

Here's the deal... YOU CAN SELL ANYTHING
you purchase.. as long as you follow the license
agreement... READ IT SOMETIME.. its quite
interesting.  Tell me if it says you can't sell your disk..
bet you can.

think about what your'e saying before you say it..
you might say something intelligent.
BTW I'm not the one selling the disk in case you're
wondering..
