If you replace your MOBO, ... u lost ur right
QUOTE What's missing from the OEM version? When you buy OEM, you need to understand what you're getting. OEM editions of Windows don't come in pretty boxes, nor do they include manuals. Of course, a real "manual" has never shipped with Windows, and chances are, if you're interested in OEM software, you don't need what passes for a manual these days, anyway. And the pretty box... well, that's not really worth much anyway, is it? Rest assured, though: the software on the disc is the same as that found in any retail edition. There are some gotchas, though. OEM software cannot be returned once opened. There are no exceptions. You open it, you've bought it. OEM software is also tied to the motherboard it is first installed on. Unlike the retail versions of Windows which can be transferred to a new computer, OEM versions are not transferable. What about upgrading hardware? Microsoft says that anything is fair game, except the motherboard. Replacing the motherboard in a computer results in a "new personal computer," which the company considers to be synonymous with a transfer. It's not permitted with an OEM edition of Windows. |

cstkl1, by right you can't do that. Basically you are teaching the TS to do the U-Turn at the junction that do not have the U-Turn sign board which is illegal.

Yeah a loophole, but if BSA do a spot check (company) confirm kena saman.
Anyway in Malaysia home user are safe for the time being. |

astria, ref to the buku undang-undang. Or next time when u see the traffic policeman you try do the U-turn / double line overtaking/ after 3am don't follow the traffic lights sure kena saman. But of coz we as Malaysian are really "SMART"
