This article came exactly 1 day too late for me - I literally just blew away one of our test machines yesterday morning, only to find I can't activate it unless I re-install Windows 7. To make matters more fun I chucked the Win7 install disk in the trash thinking, I won't need this again!

- talmand 11y agoI never toss any of my OS install disks, because you never know. I think I still have Win3.1 on floppy in the closet somewhere.
