I have a sales receipt for Windows ME that says "Windows ME". It doesn't say 
"License to use Windows ME." I have a shrink-wrapped box that says "Windows 
Millennium Edition". It doesn't say "License to use Windows Millenium 
Edition." The CD within the box says... Well, you get the idea. Both 
Microsoft and their authorized retailer communicated to me that I was 
purchasing a product called "Windows Millennium Edition." If I have not 
purchased title to a copy of Windows, then Microsoft and their authorized 
retailer have severely misrepresented the product.
