Right, you send it back. And then what happens? Does Intel sell its customers USED I2 systems? Or are those USED I2 systems then junk?

I don't believe that intel makes any I2 systems. AFAIK, the vendors make the systems. My guess is that the vendors refurbish the systems and resell them as such. That's a standard industry procedure on equipment used for trial periods. I've even seen the original "trial company" then buy equipment back at the reduced refurbished price. Do you have any info to the contrary? Either way, as Paul pointed out, intel gets paid, and that's what matters.
