As a fellow South African, all I can say is : GET IT. It'll give you
something to do instead of watching Super12 LOL. Helps a lot if you can
throw high end hardware at it.

Work at home rights?  A Company XP License does not a *free* copy of Windows
make, eh?  You should ask was it worth it for the owner of said license that
will have to eventually pay for your usage?

I use MS licenses daily and its VERY easy for techs to forget that it will
be paid for by someone when that number is generated.  Its become a major
issue, sadly.

about 500 Eus worth of hardware in the box and

Hey Deon, Super 12... AAAARRRRGGHH ;) Worse than the cricket and that's
saying something. LOL.

Haven't finished NFSU2 yet, picked up GTR and Silent Hunter 3 from the shelf
Saturday and had to choose.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... GTR or Silent
Hunter 3.... GTR or Silent Hunter 3.... put GTR back. But soon, very soon.

If you have a site agreement with microsoft, I can't really see the issue.

And the prices of Microsoft products are not based on costs, they're based on
how much they can charge before numbers go down. It gets harder and harder to
get the loyalty and m***of customers with time that way.

How someone in his right mind can buy Office2003 for 1099 Euros while M$ reap
huge revenues is totally beyond me. It is laughable, really. Ridiculous. And
Microsoft are concerned about piracy? How hard can it be to understand, I say...

makes it just about bearable ;-)

You really think that I, linux evangelist that I am, would bow down
and *pirate* Microsoft stuff???

I asked your windows support and they told me that our company
contract states that a license for home use is included.

Counting the number of windows machines I have formatted here that
only run Linux and nothing else I'd say I still have a few xp licences
to share ;-)

Just wondering: did they leave that statement on the box for the
international release? Some bloke here pretending to be a simbin dev
or at least someone close to their circles said something to the
effect that this notice would be removed for the international release
(you might want to ask google groups about it).

Cheers,

Yes it is possible for corporates to include home use of it's purchased MS
products. We had it for a while, the only constraint was that the copy of
the license had to come from a PC being 'mostly' used by the employee. In
other words if you have a PC at work that you are the main user you can use
the MS products at home.

However that did change where I worked some time later.
