Perhaps because a new board supposedly means a new install of Windows
and you're not supposed to be using XP licenses any more. Perhaps
they're also tired of supporting an OS that's way past end-of-life.
Is XP no longer sold (now I think about it that may be obvious!)? What
about all the people and businesses who are not ready/capable of
supporting/running Win7? Are existing XP license holders not able to
have their PCs repaired and continue using their XP License? That's
rubbish!!
Did you ask them?
No, just had an email from my Dad today.
3. Wouldn't he have needed to buy a new license for Vista or would
his
existing XP license cover him (I somehow doubt it)?
Yeah, he would have needed a new license.
So is Vista still sold then? I wonder if they told him they were going
to put it on?
Either way, I wish my Dad would just let me put Ubuntu on there and
just LEARN to use OOo instead of MSO... stubborn git! :)
