If I were prepared to buy out the remaining value of your [used]
Windows and Office software, what mechanisms could we use to
establish that you had destroyed the software and all backups thereof?

And also, how can we establish that you will -stay- off of Windows
instead of just taking the payment and applying it against a new
version that you were planning to purchase anyhow?

Note: This is not a flame; this is a "I'm prepared to seriously
consider that, but how would we actually work it in practice?"
