# My home XP is legit
My home 2k server is legit.
Everything I've ever installed is legit, well in the last few years.

Reusing licences relinquished by previous owners is legit, isn't it?

# it`s not actually, according to the weird way MS words the licence
it`s effectively tied to the motherboard, unless it`s a full unopened copy of the software - that`s why if you get cheap OEM copies, legally it has to be supplied with an "essential" system component.. like a 2 quid piece of shit mouse
