This is illegal

Operating system software, such as Windows can not be transferred due to the
wording
of the licences; however Microsoft applications such as Outlook and Office
can be transferred
legally.

Other licenses that cannot be sold are ones obtained through some other
process other than buying the software. Examples of these are OEM Software
(has to stay with the original equipment) and MSDN or Technet licenced
products. As these licenses are aquired at subsidized rates.

As some of you know we are an authorised Microsoft reseller, I have checked
with MS this morning.

Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for
intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System
packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the
stable packages at that time. So there's no need for a fresh install the
command 'pacman –Syu' upgrades the whole system.
