I'm in my last semester of college, and I was given an offer to buy a full copy of Windows XP Pro, so I leaped at it.
However, I was surprised to find that for my money, I had received both a full copy of XP Pro with SP2, AND a copy of XP x64!
Now, I've heard good and bad things about x64, so I think I'm gonna stay with XP Pro for a while till Vista shows its face.
My question: Can I legally sell the copy of x64 on someplace like EBay or the Buy/Sell forum here? I read an article not too long ago about Microsoft making some other college student's life hell for selling an UNOPENED copy of Windows XP that he never used but bought through the college.
The extra cash would help pay for my purchase, but not if I'm gonna have to deal with a legal hassle.
