See the Right of First Sale:

It isn't legal (per the EULA) to transfer ownership of a XP license even if that license is no longer used by the original purchaser. Last time I checked, that is.

Why isn't it legal? I thought M$ had been forced by the suckiousness of

its a valid license and not a pirate, I would assume it's legal. Can
