i dunno, i'll be happy to get as much as i can for it.
i noe copies of win98 are still being sold on ebay! and companies buy it coz they just wanna get any cheap OS (legit) into their systems.

Technically the OEM license only applies to the machine it was purchased with. So from Microsoft's perspective it isn't leagal.

FYI if you install the OEM MCE on a non-Dell it will ask you to activate. Not sure if you can actually activate it though.

The OEM discs will only run on Dell machines and the activation process blocks you if you tried to install it on a non dell machine.
