EULA for retail version of XP, from M$ website:

13. SOFTWARE TRANSFER. Internal. You may move the Software to a 
different Workstation Computer. After the transfer, you must completely 
remove the Software from the former Workstation Computer. Transfer to 
Third Party. The initial user of the Software may make a one-time 
permanent transfer of this EULA and Software to another end user, 
provided the initial user retains no copies of the Software. This 
transfer must include all of the Software (including all component 
parts, the media and printed materials, any upgrades, this EULA, and, if 
applicable, the Certificate of Authenticity). The transfer may not be an 
indirect transfer, such as a consignment. Prior to the transfer, the end 
user receiving the Software must agree to all the EULA terms.

Can't seem to locate a version of the OEM EULA right now...
