Joe new guy gets a laptop that used to be a worktool for someone else.
He unwittingly grabs a copy of Windows that happens to be lying 
around and installs it and Office on it as part of cleaning up
an old machine.   The copy he used to install
is actually in use by someone else on another laptop.

Is he not in breach of the EULA?
