My experience with avoiding the Windows tax

A local PC shop in the college town I live deals exclusively with second-hand hardware, but they buy Windows licenses for resale (CD-ROMs and OEM stickers). After I mentioned I wanted to buy a used IBM Thinkpad but did not want to pay for the Windows license, they were kind enough to knock $75 off after removing the XP Pro license key sticker (and quick-formatting the hard disk). Nice!
