correct,always receiving a discount for the ms-tax from the importer,but Bill 
always get's his money.
For xp,i could place the software on dual-boots desktops when customer asked 
me,and they get the xp for free,so Bill does not get money twice(this 
customer should otherwise also buy the software)
But with Vista,it is not possible anymore,even when it's another asus 
notebook,no activation:call asus or ms.
