I feel weird selling this here but i figure there are some bootcamp warriors who might be interested. i participated in a microsoft panel and received a copy of windows vista ultimate.. the full retail version that goes for $319 (not the upgrade version) the CD is brand new and still in its shrinkwrap i havent touched it. I'll take $200 with free shipping.

Full retail (in an actual box) or OEM (cd only in shrinkwrap)?

The OEM's are more limited licenses and cost much less...

Do those DVD's say "Not for resale," just like mine did? IF so, then it is illegal to sell them.

"It is illegal to resell software in violation of the original terms of sale, to resell software marked not for resale (NFR), or to resell OEM software that is never authorized for resale by a third party."

You can resell OEM software as long as it has not been installed. Once installed on the machine, then it's only for that machine...

It's not OEM software. It's "Not for resale" software.

He got this as a giveaway from MS, just like thousands of other people. Their giveaway software is usually "Not for resale" or NFR because they are giving it away and don't want people reselling it.
