In Germany you are still free to sell the software to a third
person who
is insane enough to buy Windows ;-)
But how can you sell it - I think that it is an OEM license which
will only
run in the machine that Dell bought it for, from Microsoft.
You can use a standard Windows OEM installation cd, such as the one
that comes in this package <http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114048> with
any Windows OEM license sticker.
If the sticker bears Dell, Compaq, Advent &c branding, this is
irrelevant to the actual number on the sticker. You can copy a
friend's CD and use that - I avoid manufacturer branded "restore" CDs,
however.
