You cannot sell a computer with an OS license if you don't sell the computer alone (you're not buying the disk, but the license to use the software on it).
Sure you can. I bought a very nice MacBook Air in Paris a couple of months back - and you most definitely can't buy a MacBook Air without OS X.
- nolok 14y agoThe fact that something is illegal doesn't mean people are never doing it; it only means they lose when they go to court. You cannot drive over the speed limit in France, but "sure you can, I just did this morning". There are plenty of court cases, all won by the buyers, where the complaint was that the computer was sold with a windows license, and couldn't be bought without.
