[Thinkpad] Windows product keys, one data point

I had a friend swap out the motherboard in a desktop of mine and install
Win2K. I gave him the parts and the OEM CD without noticing that the CD
(from E-bay) did not include the product key.
He installed from my CD using the product key from his OEM CD.
If the Windows CDs are stamped (as opposed to burned) then you would
need to make a different die for each unique product key.

technology is the answer, what was the question?
