Well, not that I don't enjoy getting screwed, but I
just double-checked and we have the XP disc. It's
shrinkwrapped with a green piece of cardboard
and says "For distribution only with a new PC"
on it. Says "Windows XP Home Edition".
Has what I guess is a 4-part serial number.
Says "Made in Canda". Says: "Rev A01".
The disc is purple and says "Reinstallation CD.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Including
Service Pack 2". ... How'm I doin'?
