hello, i just bought a thinkpad and it came with office 2003. However, i have my own copy of office (thats already registered) so am i allowed to resell the one that came with the thinkpad????

It says nothing about "no resell" or anything along those lines...

does it have a key on the sleeve? or somewhere?
if it is a real MS Cd and doesn't say "NFR" , then post it on ebay and get some $
