I wonder who is responsible/suable for not giving me what I ordered: the windows operating system (for this particular machine, at least!).

And what if I want to move to another laptop, do I have to pay twice for the OS?

I believe OEM versions might be licensed to that specific machine. You probably aren't allowed to reuse it on another machine. I guess that is one of the "advantages" Dell has for probably paying less to MS for each license. Lennart Sorensen -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
