You can! Go and buy a retail version of any MS software from AMASON and
you can install it on another system if your original system failed for
reasons beyond your control. However, when you buy a system with OS pre
installed, you aren't specifically paying for the OS. The supplier is
simply loading the OS for you so that he can discharge his duties to
make the system "Fit for its intended purpose". Have you ever seen HP
charging you separately for the OS?
