another family machine? best i can think of.
Win 7 Ordered: What to do with Vista?
So here's the deal:
I just ordered a full retail version of Windows 7 Home Premium; the RC was great and I had no plans of going back to Vista.
My full retail version of Vista Ultimate is pretty much useless. I have to activate via phone (ie India) every time, since I blew through a few mobos a while back.
I'm not going to use it and I can't sell it...sooo any bright ideas? Short of destroying it / using as a coaster / leveling a chair...I'm fresh out

Kind of BS that I could give it away though, end result is someone else is still using it that technically shouldn't be...(then again the legality of either is questionable no?)

That's a really fuzzy line that I'm not quite sure about. If it were free, there shouldn't be a problem

Well yea, but is it legal to do so? I think selling the disc is, but the key isn't (which doesn't matter since it's borked), even still whats that even worth?
