Got a question about purchasing a Windows OS

OK, so I know that people who are students can get copis of Windows at discounted prices. If they bought a copy and then, for what ever legit reason, decided not to use it. Could they give it or sell it to someone else, not necessarily a student?

I'm curious cause I have a freind who does not want his copy that he will be getting because he got himself a Mac as a birthday gift and decided he did not want to use Windows anymore. I told him about using Windows on his Mac with that virtual program but he did not want to hassle installing it. So I figured he could sell or give it to me. Would that be OK? I researched but could not get a straight answer online, always a lot of details but nothing that speaks clearly in a few easy word.

HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN A MICROSOFT COP?? NO

Has a Microsoft cop ever knocked on your door?? Pulled you over?? No

Has microsoft ever fixed or restored your computer?? No

If you have legit software and a legit key - use what ever version you like, student, Actionpack, OEM, Retail

The two main issues are selling it and business use

You may not be in full compliance with the term of service, but the software is fully functional and nobody will come a knocking,

at best you will receive a cease and decist letter from Microsoft

Actionpack all the way babie - evalueate for your own use..

Win7 ultimate key - one key can be good for 10 installs.. yeah man, ever computer in the place..

Keys sell for $25 on ebay and ask for a download link.. Win7 ultimate is a 2.6GB download in ISO format
