Wait. They want me to pay for something I already paid for?

Well guess my $2.5k new windowless machine is looking better everyday.

You actually paid for Windows?

Oh yeah. Windows XP Professional 64 bit. Each "upgrade" used the same license and never really got screwy until 10. Won't go to 11.

Edit: Actually I don't think I even paid for that, I think it was an OEM license my dad got from his work.
