Let me assume that what you have are packages and not only MOLPs
(licenses without media):
1. The CD's are good for freesbie.
2. You may also hang them on mirrors of cars (but this is not
recommended, since people may think you are ars; In addition,
it "blinds" other drivers).
3. If you use a microwave for preparing frozen pizzas, the cartons
are very useful to put the pizzas on them (dishes are bad idea,
because pizzas stick to them).
4. The paper (in the books, licenses, warranties, etc.) is useful
for LaG BaOmer.
5. And for people with a too gentle ass (though too smooth in my
eyes).
6. If you use Mandrake, installing Win on a separate partition may
allow you to grab TrueType fonts, using (IIRC) DrakFonts.
7. If you use Wine, a Win installation on a separate partition
may help you to run it better (thanks to the original DLL's).
8. If you paid $300 for VMware and don't want your boss to ask you
what was done with this money, install Win under it.
9. Last but not least, while most hardware devices are detected by
both Linux and Win, some hardware devices are detected only by
Linux, and some others - only by Win. It may be useful to
reserve a partition for Win, even in servers, for the uncommon
and rare case that there will be a hardware that Win will be
able to detect for you. There are also advanced diagnostic
software packages that you may run under Win.
