Since MS had a death grip on every branded PC sold in the last decade, its
fair to assume the original purchaser paid for the license, and even
requires that it goes with the bundled hardware.

Hah! the local GoodWill computer store got nailed last year and now must
buy a copy of windows for EVERY PC they sell.

Speaking of Windows etc., how do I extract the serial number from a PC with
W95 running on it? I want to have it in case something screws up and I need
to reinstall, plus I would like to change the registered owner from Biology
Dept to me or some such.
