[QUOTE="Rambaud, post: 618564, member: 20783"] Although it was the case (here in the UK) that OEM versions of Windows required a hardware product to be purchased at the same time (= a system builder?), it seems that requirement has been dropped/disregarded. I have only only once contacted MS support (in over 10 years) - when Win 2000 would not install. MS sent me another CD, which did not work either. Problem turned out to be a CPU and motherboard mis-match. [/QUOTE]
