Apparently Microsoft had to change the retail box design as the early boxes had the serial number on the box and people were using picture phones to take photos of the number and then downloading the OS from the internet.
Even though the boxes have now been changed people are still doing this with PC's on display in stores and its apprently causing legitimate consumers and Microsoft a lot of problems.
If you want the OS you should buy it or use a free alternative if you do not wish to pay.
Would it not make sense to just put the OEM licence sticker on the back of the PC, or better still on the under side of the tower?
NOTE: i did find a bug today, adobe seem to know all about it but havent been arsed to fix it. when installing Adobe Reader 8.0 from the installer package, it falls over failing to write to temp file. I went through and reset all my security, owndership etc, turned off mcafee and access protection etc etc still no good. had a quick google and adobe say you need to run the installer package bootstrapper in windows XP SP2 compatibility mode
worked like a charm after that
