    BAD COPY OF XP

    Thanks guys for all the info on the licensing rules Nice to know we in the UK can for once benefit from a M/Soft giveaway - very unusual for them to do this normally! Whenever replacement cd's are to be shipped the criteria is always ship to US or Canada - what about the rest of the world???
