Serious, if possible ;D. How does it work. Somebody owning such a
sticker needs to send it to Microsoft? The sticker is for the install
medias + license? I don't think so.
IIRC a friend who once bought a PC got the install medias for Vista 32,
and 64 bit, but he needed to register the install. The computer buying
price included a light version of Vista, to get the full version, there
was the need to pay again. IIRC something needed to be unlocked. Am I
suffering from delusions of lunacy or may I remember correctly? Perhaps
both ;).
Hm! I found this link:

He?

I don't understand it, but suspect that getting the sticker won't help.
OTOH, I'm not suffering from delusions of lunacy, at least not regarding
to my memories.
