my brother purchased 5 original Windows 2000 pro for his office 4 yrs back... now that he is thinking of upgrading to XP, i was just wondring
1. is it Legal to sell off old Operating Systems?
2. do microsoft ppl have any sort of exchange things?

it's very important to be in the white books (all softwares legal, with purchasing proofs and all)

I think there is no such provision

As Microsoft Says that these software cd's state clearly that these software are " NOT FOR RESALE" legally. See The 'End User License Agreement' enclosed/ saved in CD-ROM of Software.
