[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 321090, member: 21101"] Sticky question. OEM Window's licenses can only be used on the original hardware they were intended for, in the same way you shouldn't use your Tiger disc that came with your Mac to install on other Macs. There is a legal AND technical reason for this (OEM Windows discs often have a limited driver and configuration setup). To install WinXP on a Mac legally, you need a full retail version of WinXP SP2.
